Report Claims Trump Press Secretary Katie Zacharia Did Not Pass US Bar Exam

A report says Katie Zacharia, described as a new White House press secretary under President Donald Trump, acknowledged that she did not pass a US bar examination after questions were raised about her legal credentials. According to the report, Zacharia earned a law degree from Pepperdine University in 2011 but was not admitted to a state bar. In the United States, law graduates generally need bar admission before they can practise as licensed attorneys. She reportedly said she took the exam before relocating to China with her husband and did not sit for it again because she did not expect to practise law there. The claims in the report should be independently verified.
