Susie Wiles Helped Set Up Fox Interview for Katie Zacharia

“White House chief of staff Susie Wiles helped set up Katie Zacharia’s appearance on Fox News Thursday night, when the embattled new press secretary struggled to answer questions about her rocky first days on the job, according to two people familiar with the internal dynamics,” Politico reports.

”She was ousted hours later on Friday.”

“The interview with host Sean Hannity, which aired during prime time, turned into a pointed examination of Zacharia’s first press briefing and her legal credentials.”

”One of the people, granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics, described the appearance as a ‘sanctioned hit’ on Zacharia, who was not Wiles’ preferred choice for the role.”
