White House Press Secretary Zacharia Admits Failing Bar Exam

The newly appointed White House press secretary faces mounting scrutiny over past claims regarding her legal credentials.

Katie Zacharia, the newly appointed White House press secretary, has admitted that she failed the bar exam, The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post reported. The admission comes amid mounting public scrutiny over her credentials and past statements portraying her as an attorney.

US President Donald Trump specifically referred to Zacharia as an attorney when announcing her appointment to succeed Karoline Leavitt, despite Zacharia's contention that she avoids identifying herself as one.

During an interview on Fox News, Zacharia was asked whether she still retains the president's confidence, replying, "I'm standing here." According to reports, it remains unclear how extensively she will engage with the press going forward.
