White House press secretary Katie Zacharia's legal credentials are under scrutiny after she admitted not passing the California bar exam. The remarks come as she faces questions over her role and qualifications following a rocky press briefing.
Zacharia, who previously lived in China, made comments about China's infrastructure during an interview, saying they lacked 'proper toilets.' The remarks have raised concerns about her alignment with Trump's generally positive stance toward China.
The Trump administration has defended Zacharia's qualifications, with communications director Steven Cheung stating she is 'uniquely qualified and whip smart.' However, her legal credentials remain a point of contention.
Zacharia has also expressed interest in appearing on 'Saturday Night Live' as a character similar to Scarlett Johansson, highlighting her Hollywood connections despite her role as a press secretary.
