White House officials weigh Zacharia's future after short first briefing

Katie Zacharia's first press briefing lasted about 15 minutes, as fresh scrutiny emerged over her past social media posts.

• Katie Zacharia held her first White House press briefing Tuesday, a roughly 15-minute appearance with about five minutes of questions from three reporters.
• White House officials question how long Zacharia will keep the role; one official described the briefing as "brutal."
• Zacharia said she ended the briefing early because Trump would take reporter questions before departing for Alaska.
• CNN's K-File unit found past posts promoting the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy, unproven accusations against Democrats, and criticism of Trump's administration.
• During the briefing, Zacharia said she passed a bar exam in China rather than in any US state, drawing questions about her legal qualifications.
• President Trump praised Zacharia's briefing performance as having gone well despite the criticism.
