White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is leaving the role after days in the job, news agencies are reporting, citing administration sources.
Earlier, President Donald Trump indicated he had encouraged her to reconsider her position.
"I told her: 'I think you're better off being happy, and I'm not sure you can ever be happy in this stuff.' There's nothing easy about this stuff," he said to reporters while departing the White House.
"I said to her honestly, 'If I were you, I'd reconsider … think about it. But I would reconsider.'"
