The new White House Press Secretary was fired on Friday, just five days after her appointment. Earlier this week, Jean-Pierre held her first press conference, which she cut short after only 14 minutes. During her remarks, she confused her husband's name with President Trump's when discussing family details, leading to immediate criticism.
President Trump had appointed Jean-Pierre earlier this week as the new official White House spokesperson, replacing Caroline Levitt. Jean-Pierre is a lawyer from California and a public figure in America, having participated in debate panels on several channels and served as a spokesperson for Trump's election campaign.
According to a report in the New York Post, eight minutes of Jean-Pierre's initial public appearance were dedicated to "an extended speech praising President Trump's achievements." At the end of the statement, Jean-Pierre answered questions from only three journalists. Jean-Pierre is a strong supporter of Israel and has often criticized its opponents, openly opposing New York City Mayor Zohar Mohammadani and the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
