The White House says Katie Zacharia is “transitioning out” of the role of press secretary, just days after she took up the position.
The announcement follows remarks by US President Donald Trump on Friday. Trump said he had suggested to Zacharia that she should “reconsider” the job.
Criticism from the media
Trump also said Zacharia has been treated “very, very badly” by the media in recent days.
The BBC’s Sarah Smith, who was in the room at Zacharia’s first briefing, looks at how her short tenure unfolded.
