@dwnews: Katie Zacharia, having only served five days in the role, will now be the shortest-serving press secretary in White House history. She took over the position from Karoline Leavitt. Her abrupt departure comes after a rocky debut at the press room podium and controversy surrounding her background. She claimed to be lawyer but there was no evidence that she passed the bar exam in any US state or in China, where she worked for a large law firm years ago. #dwnews
