Questions swirl about new White House press secretary’s resume
NEW YORK (AP) — The White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, is facing scrutiny over her background and qualifications as she begins her role in the Trump administration. Zacharia has identified herself as a lawyer, having worked for conservative media outlets and served as a lawyer for the Zhong Lun Law Firm in Beijing. However, there is no evidence to suggest she has passed the bar exam in any state or China.
Additionally, she has no official bar membership in California. Reports indicate that Trump administration officials have been unable to confirm her legal credentials.
