Katie Zacharia's first briefing was a nervy smash-and-grab raid
Welcome to Tuesday’s Washington Secrets. If a friend sent you this and you’d like to sign up, CLICK HERE. We were in the room (a rather colorful room) for Katie Zacharia’s first briefing as White House press secretary. It was short and sweet. But she already has eyes on setting the record for longest press secretary tenure under Trump. She’ll have to learn Secrets’ rules of press secretarying…
TL;DR
- A new press secretary was appointed.
- She had only been in the job for 24 hours.
- Her first briefing was designed to be short.
- The plan was to release a news bombshell and leave quickly.
