Katie Zacharia: Hat sich Trumps neue Sprecherin strafbar gemacht?
Eigentlich sollte Katie Zacharia die schlechten Umfragewerte von US-Präsident Donald Trump verbessern. Doch stattdessen beherrschen Kontroversen um ihre Person die Schlagzeilen.
Katie Zacharia, the newly appointed White House press secretary, appears to be in hot water over alleged falsehoods about her professional qualifications. This comes just a week after her debut briefing at the White House, where she struggled to provide clear answers. Speculations have arisen that she may have lied on her CV, potentially committing a criminal offense.
Trump's new spokesperson has faced criticism from both sides, with the Campaign for Accountability filing a complaint against her in California. The complaint states that falsely representing oneself as a lawyer, even without a license, is a crime in the state. Zacharia, who studied law and worked briefly in China, has previously worked as a commentator for Fox News and as a communications consultant for Trump Media & Technology Group.
She expressed her longtime desire to work for Trump during Tuesday's briefing. Regarding her family life, she jokingly said that her husband was in Washington that week to celebrate two birthdays.
