Katie Zacharia admits that she never passed the bar exam.
The new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, admitted that she failed her bar exam the first time she took it in 2011 in California and never retook it, as she then moved to China with her husband. Because i didn’t wanna have a withdrawal status, “I had already preregistered for the bar exam and… during the summer, I knew I would be living in China and the results of the bar were inconsequential, and I sat for it.
In an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Zacharia said she was told that she could call herself a lawyer but not an attorney and that’s what she did throughout, but some social media posts called her attorney. “I graduated Pepperdine, got married in the same week, and we had all intent to move out to China,” she explained. “When I went to go engage in media and give legal analysis, I consulted attorneys and legal professionals as to whether or not they agreed that I could be labeled a lawyer, both because I had a valid Juris Doctor from a good law school, a reputable law school, Pepperdine Law School, and in conjunction with the fact that I did have actual substantive legal experience,” Zacharia said, setting the record straight. She worked at a Chinese law firm as an advisor and that role did not require her to pass the bar exam, she said.
