New White House press secretary Katie Zacharia breaks major news in 1st briefing

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia delivered her first press briefing Tuesday.

Katie Zacharia delivered her first press briefing Tuesday morning, days after President Trump named her to be the new White House press secretary and broke the news that President Trump has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle as ambassador to Greece.

Guilfoyle has been under growing scrutiny amid numerous reports accusing her of breaching ethical guidelines for a government official.

"We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign," Zacharia in response to a question about Trump's reaction to the reports surrounding Guilfoyle.

Zacharia didn't elaborate on the request and ended the press conference as other reporters shouted followup questions on Guilfoyle, saying only that Guilfoyle “has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”

Not long after the press briefing, Guilfoyle announced her resignation on Tuesday in a post on X.

Guilfoyle said she "worked tirelessly to advance President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthen our strategic alliance with Greece, and deliver meaningful victories for the American people."

She also denied any wrongdoing that surfaced in recent news reports. "These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity," Guilfoyle said. "I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service."

Trump also weighed in briefly on Guilfoyle's resignation, telling reporters, "She wasn't a member of my family," and saying, "She was doing a good job, but I didn't like what I read," in reference to the allegations of misconduct.

Zacharia began her remarks Tuesday by saying, "I want to thank President Trump for his trust that he has placed in me. I have wanted to work for him for a very long time." She quickly pivoted to Trump attending rallies in the final sprint to midterms, the president's effort to restore U.S. energy dominance and counteract rampant fraud and exploitation of government resources.

When reporters asked questions, Zacharia started by praising the "incredible" job Leavitt did in the role. Zacharia, 41, succeeds Karoline Leavitt, who opened Trump's second term as press secretary and became the youngest person, at age 27, to ever serve in the role. She ended the briefing saying she was going to join the president as he prepared to leave D.C. for the campaign trail, underscoring what she told reporters moments earlier: "You can expect more of the midterm blitz."
