## Summary

Katie Zacharia says she is worried about her family’s privacy and safety after leaving her White House press secretary role after only five days. She says photographers and other people have appeared near her home, and that she called police three times; her account raises questions about the support provided to officials facing public attention after leaving government.

Zacharia, 41, returned to California with her husband and four children, aged 6 to 12. A source told the article that she received no White House security assistance, unlike the protection she had while serving as a Department of Homeland Security press secretary under Kristi Noem. Donald Trump said he had advised her to reconsider the White House job, while Karoline Leavitt is helping him find a replacement.
