跟进:离任新闻秘书扎卡里亚发文否认「背刺」特朗普称相关说法是「彻头彻尾的谎言」

华盛顿——据印度亚洲新闻社10月18日报道,上任不到一周即离任的白宫新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚周六在社交平台X上发文,否认自己曾对总统特朗普「背后捅刀」(throwingTrumpunderthebus)。她写道:「我从来没有对他背后捅刀,也永远不会,任何影射或断言都是彻头彻尾的谎言和假新闻。」
她此番发文是回应保守派评论员韦恩·鲁特的贴文——鲁特写道:「当她回应时把特朗普推了出去,一切就结束了。」这一指控源于扎卡里亚离任数小时前接受「Fox&Friends」采访时被问到:她是否应该告诉特朗普自己没有通过律师资格考试。据《国会山报》报道,她当时回答:「那些问题没人问过。我是来当白宫新闻秘书的,不是来当白宫法律顾问的。」
在否认贴文发出不到两小时后,扎卡里亚又贴出一张照片,写道:「感谢特朗普总统在我儿子生日当天,在椭圆形办公室接待我和我的家人,并给我孩子们慷慨的礼物。这是一份难忘的荣誉。」她在离任当晚的告别贴文中还写道:「特朗普总统是一位善良、了不起、宽厚、体贴、热情、勤奋的人。我希望更多美国人能欣赏他。」
美国全国广播公司(NBCNews)引述一名政府高级官员的话说,扎卡里亚将转任一个有待宣布的新职位。目前白宫尚未宣布继任者或代理新闻秘书人选,也未就此发布正式声明。福克斯新闻记者约翰·罗伯茨10月16日报道称,她正在转出该职位,特朗普认为她是个好人、起初也相信她是这个职位的合适人选。
扎卡里亚10月9日被特朗普任命,接替8月底离任的卡罗琳·莱维特;特朗普当时表示:「我非常荣幸刚刚任命凯蒂·扎卡里亚为新闻秘书。」莱维特同日发文称「凯蒂得到我的全力支持」。但她的任期自始至终伴随着对其资历的质疑:Newsmax记者亚历克斯·萨尔维10月15日报道称,扎卡里亚曾表示,她在参加律师资格考试之前就已知道自己将搬到中国与当时的男友在一起,并曾获得中国中伦律师事务所国际业务部门的工作邀约。记者查尔斯·加斯帕里诺则为涉及她「博士」头衔的质疑辩护,称她从法学院毕业、持有法律博士学位(jurisdoctor),「和『吉尔·拜登博士』一样是博士」。
Ousted Press Secretary Zacharia Denies 'Throwing Trump Under the Bus,' Calling the Claim 'an Abject Lie and Fake News'
Washington — Katie Zacharia, who was ousted as White House press secretary after less than a week in the job, denied on Saturday that she had thrown President Donald Trump "under the bus," India's IANS news agency reported on October 18. "I never threw him under the bus nor would I ever, and any insinuation or assertion otherwise is an abject lie and fake news," Zacharia wrote on X.
She was replying to conservative commentator Wayne Root, who had written: "Once she responded by throwing Trump under bus, it was over for her." The charge stemmed from a "Fox & Friends" interview hours before her exit, when she was asked whether she should have told Trump that she had not passed the bar exam. "Those questions weren't asked," Zacharia said, according to The Hill. "I'm being hired as White House press secretary, not White House counsel."
Less than two hours after the denial, Zacharia posted a photograph and wrote: "Thank you, President Trump, for hosting my family and me in the Oval Office and for the generous gifts you gave my children on my son's birthday. It was an unforgettable honor." In a farewell post on the evening of her exit, she wrote: "President Trump is a kind, wonderful, gracious, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and hardworking man. I wish more Americans appreciated him."
NBC News quoted a senior administration official as saying she would move to a new role to be announced later. No successor or acting press secretary has been named, and there has been no formal White House statement. Fox News'John Roberts reported on October 16 that she was transitioning out, and that Trump considered her a good person whom he initially believed was right for the job.
Trump named Zacharia on October 9 to succeed Karoline Leavitt, who left at the end of August. "It is my Great Honor to have just appointed, as Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia," the White House quoted him as saying, and Leavitt posted the same day that "Katie has my full support." Her tenure was dogged by questions over her credentials. Newsmax's Alex Salvi reported on October 15 that Zacharia said she knew she was moving to China to be with her then-boyfriend before taking the bar exam, and that she had been offered a job in the international practice division of the Chinese law firm Zhong Lun. Journalist Charles Gasparino defended her against criticism over references to her as a doctor, saying she "is as much of a doctor as'Dr Jill Biden'since she graduated from law school, which gives her a juris doctorate."
