The new controversy of the White House spokesman; Zakaria failed the bar exam

Zakaria, the new White House press secretary, never took the California bar exam again after failing it, The Telegraph reported.

Ambassador Arjan - International Group: This 41-year-old spokesman failed the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine University Law School in 2011, which means he did not receive a license to practice law.

According to US law, only a person can call himself a lawyer who has passed this test. However, Donald Trump called him a "lawyer" when introducing the new spokesman.

The Telegraph went on to point to Zakaria's not-so-successful first appearance as White House press secretary on Tuesday, in which a reporter asked him where he passed the bar exam, and he replied, "When I moved to China." In another interview, in response to a New York Times reporter's question, Zakaria said that he misheard the question and thought the reporter had asked: "Where were you after law school?"

On Thursday, she admitted in an interview with the "Real America's Voice" program that she failed the bar exam and did not take it again because she gave birth to her first child when she returned from China.

This is despite the fact that Zakaria had previously introduced himself as a lawyer and according to reports, he had been introduced with the same title in at least 18 appearances on Sefir Arjan's network.

The monitoring body "Accountability Campaign", as a monitoring body on issues related to transparency and accountability of powerful people, demanded an investigation on whether Zakaria violated the law by presenting himself as a lawyer.

Michelle Cooper-Smith, the group's executive director, said: "Zacharia has repeatedly presented himself as a lawyer to bolster his credibility as a television legal commentator and now as a White House spokesperson, but it appears that all of that was a lie." In California, calling yourself a lawyer without a license is not pretentiousness; Rather, it is a crime."

Now the presence of this new spokesman of the White House in Beijing is under scrutiny. He is said to have worked as an external consultant for an international finance company and the World Bank, drafting multi-million dollar contracts for cross-border transactions and focusing on communications with American and multinational corporate clients.

Zakaria succeeds Carolyn Leavitt, who left the position in August. According to his LinkedIn profile, Zakaria currently works as a communications consultant for Trump's media and technology group; The company that manages the "Truth Social" social network.

For a short period of time, he worked as a spokesperson for the then Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Noem, and regularly appears as a guest in the conservative media.

On Tuesday, White House spokesperson Carolyn Levitt told reporters that US President Donald Trump is committed to diplomacy and announced that US special representative Steve Wittkoff will meet with Iranians this week.

US President Donald Trump announced his special envoy for Belarus, John Cole, as the new candidate for the presidential special envoy for hostages; The person Trump says was involved in the release of dozens of American citizens and hundreds of political prisoners in Eastern Europe.

Donald Trump told his supporters in Texas with a controversial description of the situation in Europe: this continent is in a critical situation and "is being eaten alive".
