Katie Zacharia Highlights as White House Press Secretary
Her tenure was brief. Bloomberg News reports that Katie Zacharia is leaving President Donald Trump's press secretary job after less than a week, and its compilation returns to the briefing that introduced her.
The Short opens with Zacharia saying she is honored to serve the president and the American people. It then moves through remarks about the economy and relations with Venezuela before reaching a direct question from a reporter: "Has the US stopped sharing intel with Ukraine?"
"I'll have to get back to you on that," Zacharia replies. The clip offers no further answer to the intelligence-sharing question.
The compilation drew roughly a quarter of a million views in its first day, compared with about five thousand for a typical Bloomberg News Short. That makes this introductory appearance an unusually widely watched upload for the channel.
Bloomberg's accompanying report cites a White House official confirming that Zacharia is transitioning out of the job. Whether she will take another position remains unclear. The briefing itself ends with Zacharia directing further questions toward Trump's departure for an Alaska trip.
