The Zacharia Firing Just Got THAT Much Worse

On Friday I covered Katie Zacharia calling herself a lawyer after failing the California bar. She was still at the podium that morning. By Friday night she was out, five days after Trump hired her. Now, Politico reported that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles helped arrange the Sean Hannity interview the night before that exit, and a source called it a sanctioned hit. The New York Post then published texts showing Zacharia herself asking for Fox hits. Both can be true. SOURCES 1.
