India, Oct. 16 -- Katie Zacharia is currently "transitioning out" of her prominent role as White House press secretary after a historically brief tenure of just five days, Fox News reports, citing a senior White House official.

The swift departure follows a week of mounting public scrutiny and a barrage of difficult media appearances concerning the validity of her legal qualifications.
