Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported6m ago
Katie Zacharia, recently appointed as the U.S. White House press secretary by President Donald Trump, is facing public scrutiny regarding her use of the 'lawyer' title. During television appearances and on social media, Zacharia has described herself as a lawyer and listed her position as general counsel for a California-based conservative nonprofit.
While the 41-year-old holds a law degree from Pepperdine University, reports indicate she lacks a publicly established record of passing the U.S. bar exam. Amidst ongoing questions concerning her credentials, Zacharia appeared to acknowledge failing the bar exam during her defense of the title.
