US President Donald Trump's new press secretary Katie Zakaria, 41, has been dogged by controversy in just five days of her tenure. Her professional credentials came under question during her first press briefing. She was relieved on Friday, despite repeated media denials. The White House said she was being moved to a new role, which would be announced later. On Tuesday, Zakaria gave her first and last press briefings. The briefings lasted about 14 minutes. She read a prepared script for the first 10 minutes and then answered some reporters'questions. Then came questions about whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer. Trump called her an "attorney," while controversy erupted over her bar exam passing. A New York Times reporter asked her when she had passed the bar exam. Zakaria referred to going to China after mistaking the first question. Later, she said she had not heard from the paper. Zakaria also claimed the university's attorney had told him several times.
