White House spokesperson to resign after five days
White House spokesperson Katie Zakaria announced her resignation after just one press conference amid widespread controversy over her legal qualifications. Zakaria did not pass the California licensing exam in 2011, and she has stated that she lived in Beijing and worked in international law. However, she posted on social media platforms claiming to be a licensed attorney, despite not holding an official license. A watchdog organization has filed a complaint with the California Bar Association to investigate her use of the title "attorney" without proper licensing. Meanwhile, the White House defended her credentials, considering the controversy part of a political attack. Her resignation came in response to widespread reactions and accusations concerning her legal credibility.
