@brutamerica: White House press secretary Katie Zacharia faces questions about her legal credentials following her first briefing on October 13, 2026. Asked where she passed the bar exam, she replied, “when I moved to China,” without identifying the exam or jurisdiction. President Donald Trump described Zacharia as “an attorney” in his October 9 announcement appointing her to the role. She earned a law degree from Pepperdine University in 2011. Her LinkedIn profile lists work as an associate at Beijing’s Zhong Lun Law Firm from 2011 to 2013. Reporters reviewing US attorney registration records said they found no evidence of her admission to practice in any state or Washington, DC. Neither a law degree nor passing a bar exam alone establishes that someone is a licensed attorney; admission to practice is also required. Her response therefore does not establish that she is licensed to practice law in the United States, and the White House has not provided evidence of her admission. #KatieZacharia #WhiteHouse #Trump #LegalCredentials
