President Donald Trump's White House press secretary replacement following Karoline Leavitt's departure, Katie Zacharia, has reportedly scrubbed her Instagram of bikini photos mere days after beginning her role within the Trump administration.
The 42-year-old television personality appeared to do so damage control, re-curating her Instagram page to exclude swimsuits photos she initially posted.
Days after Zacharia took on her Washington D.C. position it seemed that certain photos on her profile disappeared, with The U.S. Sun previously reporting that the bikini pics that were once on her Instagram page were removed from her account after she accepted the press secretary role.
At this time, Zacharia has neither publicly addressed the disappearance of the images nor confirmed whether her deleting them had to do anything with her new appointment. However, she's openly talked about bikinis and what she believed to be appropriate clothing.
The Pepperdine University alum discussed gym attire in a resurfaced YouTube interview in which she also divulged her thoughts on women donning revealing outfits when working out.

Too bad.
Now I know why Trump hired her.
I’m against the oversexualization of society - but I’m *way* more against the gender neutering of society.
Skinny in addition to being inarticulate.
I have concluded she was overcome with fear and failed to perform in a competent manner
That being said....I would hit it.
Skinny? No. Lean - yes. Ribs aren’t showing, arms and legs aren’t unnaturally thin. She’s young. If she has a kid, or adds ten years, she’ll be carrying a few more pounds. She’d still look great with a few more pounds, but she’s not skinny.
Trump hires women for the right jobs. If he hires a woman for SecWar that’s a different story.
I disapprove of her actions.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that!
Trump should fire whoever recommended this distraction — unless he’d have to fire himself.
She nailed it. I don't know what you were watching.
she should delete her spokeswoman videos and keep the bikini model pix. Infinitely more talent in the latter department
Another female jughead journalist named Cheyenne. She uses a dumbass indian name to get attention. I guess she don’t look good in a bikini.
I am more than happy to keep her photos for her. She could come and visit to review my storage facility.
Nice boat!
There’s a boat?
Pretty much puurrrfect.
Jealousy apparently abounds.
Katie should not have removed these photos. Seriously. Put even more bikini photos online and dare the White House press to say something about it. Who is going to ask a critical question? Some ugly pig of a female journalist? Or some dweeby male journalist who would never have a chance with her? If so, she should just smile at them and say “Next question.” Or if its some good looking male reporter, there’s a 99% chance that he’s gay so she should say, “Do you want to know where I bought the bikini so you can buy one for your boyfriend?” Or if some remotely good looking female reporter gets in there somehow, she should challenge her and say “I’ll answer that when we see what you look like in a bikini.”
