跟进：白宫官员证实新闻秘书扎卡里亚离任上任仅五天

2026-10-16 · 白宫 · GSM News事件

华盛顿 — 白宫官员10月16日向多家媒体证实，白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚已经离任。她10月12日才正式上任，任职仅五天。

据《今日美国报》报道，五名知情人士、其中包括三名白宫高级官员证实了这一决定，称扎卡里亚正在转岗离任；美国国家公共广播电台（NPR）引述一名白宫官员给出了同样的说法，福克斯新闻也引述白宫高级官员报道了这一消息，《纽约时报》则最先报道她被解职。

这一确认出现在特朗普总统同日上午表态之后数小时。特朗普当天启程赴佐治亚州集会前在白宫对记者表示，他已劝扎卡里亚重新考虑这份工作，称这份工作可能不适合她、她受到媒体粗暴对待，并称去留由她本人决定、返抵华盛顿后将再谈，本站午间已就此发稿。数小时后，白宫官员即向媒体证实她离任。

扎卡里亚现年41岁，特朗普10月9日宣布任命她接替8月离任的卡罗琳·莱维特。她10月13日主持了上任后唯一一场简报会，历时约14分钟、只回答了三名记者的提问，表现受到广泛批评。此后，她自称律师的资格受到质疑：她2011年从佩珀丁大学法学院毕业后未通过加州律师考试，并于10月15日在福克斯新闻节目中承认这一点；监督组织已向加州律师协会投诉，要求调查她使用律师头衔一事，本站10月15日已报道。

多家媒体指出，她五天的任期比2017年特朗普首个任期内任职11天即离任的时任白宫通讯主任安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇还要短。截至发稿，扎卡里亚本人与白宫均未回应媒体的置评请求，白宫尚未公布继任人选。

Follow-up: White House Official Confirms Press Secretary Zacharia Is Out After Just Five Days

Washington — A White House official confirmed to multiple news outlets on October 16 that Press Secretary Katie Zacharia is leaving the role, just five days after she officially started on October 12.

USA Today reported that five people familiar with the decision, including three senior White House officials, confirmed the move, describing Zacharia as transitioning out of the job. NPR cited a White House official giving the same account, Fox News also cited a senior White House official, and The New York Times first reported that she had been fired.

The confirmation came hours after President Donald Trump spoke about her future earlier the same day. Before departing for a campaign rally in Georgia, Trump told reporters at the White House that he had advised Zacharia to reconsider the job, said it might not be for her and that she had been treated roughly by the media, and said the decision was hers and that they would talk again after he returned to Washington, as GSM reported at midday. Hours later, White House officials confirmed her departure to reporters.

Zacharia, 41, was named by Trump on October 9 to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who stepped down in August. She held her only briefing on October 13, which lasted about 14 minutes and took questions from just three reporters, drawing widespread criticism. Her description of herself as a lawyer then came under scrutiny: she did not pass the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine's law school in 2011, as she acknowledged on Fox News on October 15, and watchdog groups have filed complaints with the State Bar of California, as GSM reported on October 15.

Several outlets noted that her five-day tenure was shorter than the 11 days Anthony Scaramucci served as White House communications director in 2017 during Trump's first term. Zacharia and the White House had not responded to requests for comment, and no successor has been announced.
