# US President Donald Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, has been dismissed after less than a week in the job, following criticism of her performance and questions about her legal qualifications. Zacharia’s first press briefing lasted about 14 minutes, with questions from only three journalists. She later faced scrutiny after admitting she had not passed the bar exam, despite previously describing herself as a lawyer. Her departure leaves the White House without a permanent press secretary, less than three weeks before the US midterm elections.
