Inside the White House conspiracy to fire Trump's new spokesman

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was instrumental in firing Donald Trump's newly appointed press secretary, Politico reported.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Politico's report indicates that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was involved in arranging a controversial interview for Cathy Zakaria, Donald Trump's newly appointed spokeswoman, with Fox News.

It was an interview that led to Zakaria's ouster just hours later, fueling speculation of internal discord in the White House.

Zakaria, who had been the White House press secretary for only five days, appeared on the show of Sean Hannity, a host close to Trump, on Thursday night. The conversation turned to sharp questions about his poor performance at his first press conference and his legal record. Hannity asked Zakaria if he had failed the bar exam. Zakaria confirmed that he was not admitted to the California bar exam in 2011 and did not take the exam again after that; An issue that raised questions about his professional background with his earlier introduction of himself as a lawyer.

Wiles and a White House spokeswoman were involved in coordinating the interview, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke to POLITICO.

These sources have described the said action as a coordinated strike against Zakaria and have claimed that Wiles did not see him as his preferred choice for the position from the beginning. The White House Chief of Staff's friendly relationship with Hannity is also one of the other points raised in this report.

However, the White House has called these claims speculation and fiction. Fox News also announced that Hannity personally decides on the guests of his program.

Trump announced Zakaria's firing on Friday, saying he had told him that if he didn't want to continue, he didn't have to stay.

This happened in a situation where the White House is facing political pressures and a decrease in Trump's popularity, and reports have also been published about the possibility of changes in the president's management team. Despite the allegations made about Wiles' role, the evidence presented in the Politico report alone is insufficient to prove the existence of an organized conspiracy against Zakaria.

Katie Zakaria was fired from her position only five days after being appointed as the White House spokesperson, to record the shortest tenure in this position in modern American history. His hasty appointment and swift dismissal was a direct result of Donald Trump's spur-of-the-moment decision to hire a loyal media figure ahead of the 2026 midterm elections; A choice that was made without conducting preliminary evaluations and checking the records carefully. Thus, the White House is once again left without a spokesperson on the eve of the elections.
