White House spokeswoman Kathy Zacharias defended calling herself a lawyer, even though she is not licensed to practice law.

After graduating from Pepperdine Law School in 2011, Zacharia took the California bar exam but failed, the Wall Street Journal reported.

In an appearance on VOA's Jack Pozobek, Zacharias said there was "a lot of misinformation, miscommunication" because "I labeled myself a lawyer and consulted with a lot of people on this for a long time." And they said absolutely, you can call yourself a lawyer." CNN and Google to collaborate on artificial intelligence, Comcast has given $7.5 million to help the White House ballroom, a new report shows.

Since Zakaria took the post, questions have been raised about his legal credentials, as he has talked about being a lawyer in numerous media meetings. Trump referred to her as a "lawyer" in a Truth Social post announcing her selection. He was also general counsel for the advocacy group Fix California, founded by Rick Grenell. Watch on Deadline

On Tuesday, shortly after giving his first press conference, Zacharias appeared alongside Donald Trump as he embarked on a three-day campaign swing. When a reporter asked Trump when he passed the test, he turned to him and said, "When I moved to China." He told The New York Times that he misunderstood the question and thought he was asking for information about where he was after law school.

In an interview with Posobiec, Zakharia said that he got a job in the international department of a Chinese law firm. "There are no Chinese bars," he said. I had enough documents, which was my law degree, to be able to do this. And these were multi-million dollar contracts and transactions that were cross-border, and I had all the necessary conditions to do it there."

The Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the State Bar of California on Wednesday, challenging his description of himself as a lawyer and a public defender.

In his VOA interview, Zacharias also described the struggle to prepare for Tuesday's briefing. After calling three reporters, he ended the briefing, which lasted only 14 minutes. Zakaria said he only received the briefing the night before and woke up at 3 a.m. to get ready. He said it was not until about 8:00 a.m. that the materials were finalized. "I've never had a full briefing beforehand," he said.

She was also asked about the inevitability of a Saturday Night Live show, saying she wanted a "Scarlett Johansson-type character." But he said he's currently "not watching anything else but what he's doing and focusing on what the president is doing. Trying to build on that." I don't want to see any of X or Instagram or TV right now. He'll have a short reprieve, as new episodes of SNL aren't scheduled for the next two weeks.
