Former White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Blames Reporters for Coverage of Trump
Katie Zacharia, fired after five days as White House press secretary, has accused reporters of fueling a condition she named in their coverage of President Trump.
The Hill reported that former White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has accused reporters of fueling "Trump Derangement Syndrome" in their coverage of President Trump. The report, The Hill's account, was written by Finya Swai.
According to The Hill, Zacharia was fired from her role after five days. The outlet reported that her removal followed a rocky debut and scrutiny of her legal background.
The Hill reported that Zacharia had remained relatively quiet since her ouster, which the outlet said occurred less than two weeks before its report. Her accusation against the press corps came after that period of relative silence, according to the summary of the report.
The Hill's summary does not identify the specific stories, broadcasts or remarks that Zacharia cited as examples of the coverage she criticized.
The summary also ends mid-sentence, so the full context of her remarks, along with any response from reporters or the White House, is not described in the material available for this account.
This account is limited to the summary of The Hill's report. It does not reproduce Zacharia's remarks beyond the phrase quoted above, and it does not add details that the report summary does not contain.
