The White House has defended its new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, after questions were raised about her legal credentials.
The questions centre on whether Zacharia is registered with a legal bar in any of the states where she has lived. Available information indicates that she does not appear to be registered in any of those states.
The White House has nevertheless stood by Zacharia amid scrutiny of her background. The supplied information does not provide further details about her legal training, employment history or the basis for the White House’s defence.
The latest position is that the administration continues to defend its new press secretary while questions about her professional registration remain unresolved.
