The first press conference was the last... The dismissal of Trump's spokesperson just days after her appointment.

Katie Zakaria, the new press secretary for U.S. President Donald Trump, was removed from her position today, Friday, less than a week after officially taking office, while Trump stated that he encouraged her to reconsider accepting the job.

The New York Times reported details of President Donald Trump's conversation with Zakaria, clarifying that he told her she did not need the job and advised her to think it over.

Sources added that Zakaria's departure came after a rocky start in the role, following her first and only press conference that sparked controversy over her presenting herself as a lawyer despite not passing the bar exam, while Trump had previously described her as a lawyer.

The sources noted that the White House and Zakaria did not respond to requests for comments regarding the news of her departure from the position.
