@worldwidenewz: White House press secretary Katie Zacharia faced immediate questions about her legal credentials on October 13, 2026, after a reporter asked President Donald Trump which state's bar exam she had passed. Trump turned to Zacharia and asked, "Which state?" She responded, "When I moved to China," without identifying any U.S. jurisdiction. The exchange came hours after her first White House briefing and quickly spread online because Trump had publicly described Zacharia as an attorney when announcing her appointment. The answer did not resolve the underlying question. Reviews of attorney-registration databases have found no record of Zacharia being admitted to practice in several major U.S. jurisdictions, while foreign nationals generally cannot qualify to practice Chinese law in the same way Chinese citizens can. Zacharia did earn a law degree from Pepperdine and worked at the Beijing office of Zhong Lun Law Firm, later saying she practiced international transactional law with "all the appropriate credentials." As of October 13, however, the White House had not publicly identified a U.S. bar to which she had been admitted. #fyp #usa #politics #trump #codecoin
