The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump’s personal assistant Natalie Harp played a significant role in the rapid hiring of Katie Zacharia as White House press secretary, a position Zacharia held for less than five days before being fired.
- Zacharia was hired on the spot after a meeting with Trump but struggled during her brief tenure, including a poorly received first press briefing where she took only questions from conservative outlets and appeared unprepared.
- Questions arose about Zacharia’s legal credentials after it was revealed she did not pass the bar exam, contradicting Trump’s earlier statements that she was an attorney.
- Trump was reportedly blindsided by the revelation about her legal status and decided to end her role following a tough interview with Sean Hannity, which was seen as the final straw.
- Zacharia’s firing was announced by Trump, who expressed concern for her well-being and urged her to reconsider the position, highlighting the chaotic nature of the hire and dismissal.
