President Trump is standing behind his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, as questions swirl regarding her legal credentials and her first official appearance at the podium. During a morning exchange on Tuesday, a reporter asked the president which state Zacharia passed the bar exam in, CNN reports. Trump turned to his press secretary, and when he asked her, “Which state?”, she responded that she had moved to China.
This interaction follows a debut briefing that left many within the administration feeling uneasy. Zacharia stood at the podium for only about 15 minutes, dedicating the majority of that time to an opening statement focused on the accomplishments of the president. Notably, she announced Kimberley Guilfoyle’s resignation.
