Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, keeps first briefing short

President Donald Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, held an unusually short first briefing for the media Tuesday, concluding after less than 15 minutes and calling on just three reporters. Zacharia spent more than half of that time reading remarks before she took questions from Breitbart, Fox News and the Daily Mail. It was one of the shortest White House press briefings in recent history. In response to the Daily Mail, she also revealed that the administration has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle, the U.S. ambassador to Greece, to resign following allegations of misconduct. Zacharia spent most of her remarks touting Trump’s policies and framed her new position as a job to “amplify” him, which she said she’d done as a conservative commentator.
