Katie Zacharia, newly appointed White House press secretary, admitted she has not passed the bar exam, stating that the White House never inquired about her legal credentials when hiring her for the position 1. Zacharia defended her use of the title "lawyer" while clarifying the distinction between the terms used to describe her qualifications 2.
Her first week has drawn intense scrutiny from multiple media outlets, including Fox News. During her first press briefing, which lasted 14 minutes, Zacharia answered only three questions and faced criticism for reading directly from notes and delivering responses with limited fluency 2. When confronted by Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Lawrence Jones, she explained that she was hired as a press secretary rather than a White House legal counsel 2. The questioning underscores broader concerns about her qualifications, particularly after President Trump initially referred to her as an "attorney" when announcing her appointment 2.
Zacharia previously served as an advisor to Trump Media Group and as a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson 2. She replaced Karoline Leavitt, who departed the role in August 2.
