Katie Zacharia, Trump's new White House press secretary, makes a brief appearance before reporters
She used her first briefing to announce Trump had asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign and to outline his midterm campaign plans.
- On Tuesday, newly-minted White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia faced questions regarding her legal credentials after President Donald Trump introduced her as an "attorney," despite an investigation finding no bar record.
- Popular Information's Judd Legum published a report Tuesday finding no evidence Zacharia has been admitted to any state bar, despite her 2011 Juris Doctor from Pepperdine Caruso Law.
- Zacharia has repeatedly identified herself as an "attorney" or "lawyer" on television and podcasts, and her LinkedIn previously listed her as "General Counsel" for Fix California.
- When asked for verification, the White House Press Office did not provide proof of her license, instead referring inquiries to "the President's TRUTH on Katie," where Trump called her an "attorney."
- In California, where Zacharia resides, state law designates advertising oneself as an attorney without an active license as a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
