Trump’s new press secretary says it’s ‘unknown’ how much she’ll deal with media

Katie Zacharia, Donald Trump's new White House press secretary, has expressed uncertainty about the extent of her media engagement. Just six days after being contacted by the White House, she accepted the role and made a six-day journey from Los Angeles to Washington for her first briefing. However, her initial briefing was met with criticism.

She has also faced scrutiny over her legal credentials, with reports suggesting she failed the California bar exam. Zacharia maintains that she considers her law degree and international transactional law experience a valid title, despite not being licensed to practice law in California. Her LinkedIn profile reveals a 10-year gap where she worked as an affiliate marketer for Beachbody and as the general counsel for Fix California, a conservative group.

The Campaign for Accountability is considering investigating Zacharia for potential violations of the California State Bar Association's rules. Despite not wanting to be seen lobbying for the position, Zacharia is now the White House press secretary, with the White House stating her media interactions are "unknown at this time."
