Katie Zacharia made her first appearance at the White House press briefing podium on Tuesday after being appointed press secretary by President Donald Trump.
In a brief opening statement, Zacharia said she was excited to join the administration and had wanted to work for Trump for a long time. She praised the administration’s economic record and highlighted attendance at recent campaign rallies before taking a limited number of questions, including several from conservative media outlets.
Zacharia also confirmed that the White House had requested the resignation of Kimberly Guilfoyle as U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Her debut comes amid scrutiny over her past online commentary and questions about her professional credentials.
