Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Katie Zacharia announced Tuesday that she’s leaving the agency just weeks after being hired.
“I joined [DHS] with a genuine passion for supporting [President Trump] in his decisive and effective policies to secure our homeland, be a voice for the precious Angel Families, and an advocate for the men and women of [ICE],” Zacharia wrote on X.
“I look forward to continuing that work in other capacities. God bless America, God Bless President Trump, and I am grateful to be alive during the presidencies of [Trump]!!” she added.
Zacharia, a frequent guest on Fox News, joined the agency in mid-February after DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin left her post as the top spokesperson for the department.
Zacharia’s departure also comes after President Trump replaced Kristi Noem as head of DHS last month with Markwayne Mullin.
Noem’s top adviser and alleged lover, Corey Lewandowski, has recently left his role at DHS as well.
Zacharia explained in an interview with Just the News that she had been regularly traveling from California to Washington for the job, which put a strain on her family and motivated her to leave the post.
She denied a report indicating that her alleged ties to Lewandowski played a role in her departure, claiming she met him for the first time during a February meeting discussing a job in the Trump administration.
DHS did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
