Watch: Inside Katie Zacharia's very brief White House briefing
New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia held a brief, unconventional briefing where she addressed the resignation of Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece. She declined to comment on intelligence sharing with Ukraine and focused on balancing her new professional role with family life.
