'Obviously 'was not for' her': Karoline Leavitt delivers blunt verdict on Katie Zacharia's five-day stint as White House press secretary
Leavitt says she has offered to help President Donald Trump pick a replacement who is 'tough', 'loyal' and can 'put up a fight'. Zacharia's camp has hit back, with a source calling it 'unfair' for Leavitt to keep 'brutalizing' Trump's hand-picked successor. Zacharia's opening briefing ran to just 14 minutes, with only three reporters receiving questions. Her five days make her the shortest-serving White House press secretary in US history.
Despite describing herself as a 'lawyer', Zacharia acknowledged she had never actually passed the bar.
At her shaky debut she accidentally called her husband 'my president'.
Another source branded Leavitt's remarks 'quite unsavory' after Trump said the media were 'so nasty to her'.
