Summary
Katie Zacharia departed as White House press secretary on Friday, less than a week after her appointment, following a rocky debut at the podium and widely scrutinized television interviews. Her exit coincided with questions about chief of staff Susie Wiles' future, which Trump moved to dismiss. Former Rep. George Santos (R-Fla.) said he would "jump to serve" as replacement. No successor has been named.
