Katie Zacharia, US President Donald Trump's newly appointed White House press secretary, faces questions about her legal credentials after telling reporters on Tuesday that she passed a bar exam "when I moved to China", without identifying the jurisdiction.
Zacharia, who has repeatedly described herself as a lawyer, made the remark after her first official White House press briefing. According to her LinkedIn profile, she worked as an associate at Zhong Lun Law Firm, one of China's largest, in Beijing from 2011 to 2013.
