Texts reveal Katie Zacharia HERSELF pushed for the disastrous Fox News interviews that ended her five-day White House stint
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.
'I'd like to do news hits morning and evening,' Katie Zacharia texted a White House official on Wednesday, a day after her shaky debut briefing. One source had branded the interviews a 'sanctioned hit' orchestrated by Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who never approved her hiring. The messages show no sign of any Wiles role. Zacharia was chasing airtime from Tuesday, the day of her first briefing.
Sean Hannity pressed her on failing the California bar despite her claims about being a lawyer.
Her defence to Hannity: she had been in the job 'less than maybe eight hours'.
President Trump told reporters: 'Katie, do you need this? I don't think you need this.'
