Susie Wiles Orchestrated Firing of Trump Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, Report Says
The chief of staff reportedly gave the 'kill order' for the dismissal of communications advisor Zacharia.
Katie Zacharia, a communications advisor to former President Donald Trump, has been fired, with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles reportedly orchestrating the decision. While Trump himself delivered the news to Zacharia, Wiles, described as Trump's "redoubtable chief of staff," is said to have given the ultimate directive for her dismissal.
On Friday, Zacharia was summoned to meet with the president. Trump reportedly told her, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to. Honestly if I were you I'd reconsider."
Sources close to Zacharia indicated that she felt particularly wounded by her interview with Sean Hannity, whom she had considered an ally. The exact reasons for her dismissal and Wiles's involvement were not detailed, but the report characterizes Wiles as the driving force behind the firing.
