Trump's ousted press secretary is dubbed 'half a Scaramucci' after lasting just five days in the job
Laughter erupts in the briefing room as Katie Zacharia cuts short her debut White House press conference after accepting just three pre-selected questions in 14 minutes.
Katie Zacharia, 41, was gone by Friday after a 'car crash' first briefing on Tuesday that ran 14 minutes and took just three questions. She then admitted in a TV interview that she had not passed the bar exam. President Donald Trump told her 'I think you should reconsider' but denied firing her. The California mother-of-four left calling him 'the most hardworking man'.
Anthony Scaramucci's 11-day stint in 2017 had been the benchmark for short-lived appointments.
CBS reporter Nancy Cordes on Zacharia's tenure: 'I suppose it is, she is half a Scaramucci.'
Trump insisted 'I want her to have a good life', saying she was 'brutalized by the media'.
