White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is leaving her position just one week after being appointed by President Donald Trump, following a difficult debut and growing questions about her professional background.

A senior White House official confirmed Friday that Zacharia is "transitioning out" of the role, bringing an abrupt end to one of the shortest tenures in the history of the position.

Where was the press when Keith Ellison was in Congress and as the A.G. in Minnesota, when we all know that he did not pass the bar? Did Ellison EVER pass the bar? The press is taking swipes at the new White House press secretary, who is lawyer, but has not passed the bar. Is it because she is a female? Sad. Also, where was the press when the info came out about Dr. Jill Biden? https://dunning-kruger-times.com/university-of-delaware-confirms-jill-biden-never-finished-her-ph-d-weve-asked-her-to-stop-calling-herself-dr-biden/?fbclid=IwY2xjawU_cStleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6FyIkHO41tkQ4VkuNdErfMZUYJTycXEFx8LkWnAtWaCVInk8ibh0ONUnjfmw_aem_dT0bsuo82I3LpEt7oMfu1Q
