Katie Zacharia's brief tenure as White House press secretary ended after just five days, but newly reported text messages indicate she was seeking more television exposure shortly before her departure. The messages show her requesting additional Fox News appearances after her first White House briefing, amid speculation about how the interviews had been arranged.
Her departure followed criticism of her media performances and growing scrutiny of her legal credentials. President Donald Trump publicly suggested she reconsider the position before reports confirmed she would no longer serve in the role.
