White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has departed her role after just five days, making her tenure one of the shortest in modern political history. President Donald Trump told reporters that they would discuss a new position for her, noting he did not want her to suffer further scrutiny from the press.

Her departure followed a tumultuous week that included a brief, heavily scrutinized press conference and a challenging interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity. During the interview, Zacharia defended her use of the title "lawyer" despite never having passed a state bar exam.

Zacharia originally succeeded Karoline Leavitt, who left the administration to join Fox News. Her exit has already drawn comparisons to former communications director Anthony Scaramucci, whose historic first-term tenure lasted only 11 days.

Delhi's Iconic Jantar Mantar Protest Site Denotified

Jantar Mantar, an 18th-century astronomical site in Delhi that has served as a primary location for public demonstrations for over three decades, has officially been denotified as a protest site by Delhi Police. This decision follows recent large-scale youth-led protests that successfully pressured officials, prompting authorities to restrict access and direct demonstrators to alternative, distant, and costly locations. Critics and civil society members argue that the move effectively distances demonstrations from the seat of power and imposes financial burdens on ordinary citizens seeking to voice grievances. As police barricades and paramilitary personnel secure the historic road, the future of free assembly in the Indian capital faces profound uncertainty.
