A Trump administration official argued that the White House press secretary could technically be considered a “lawyer.” Legal experts have disputed that argument.
White House press secretary Katie Zacharia did not pass the California bar exam when she took it after graduating from law school, according to a senior administration official.
The official argued that Zacharia could technically be considered a “lawyer,” though not an attorney. Donald Trump referred to Zacharia as an “attorney” in his Truth Social post announcing that he was tapping her as press secretary.
But several lawyers told NBC News that “lawyer” is widely understood to refer to someone who has passed the bar exam and is licensed to practice law.
Zacharia’s failure to pass the bar exam was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The new White House press secretary is facing questions about her legal credentials after the White House has not said whether Zacharia, who has repeatedly referred to herself as a lawyer, passed the bar exam.
Trump has alternative meanings to common words.
Why is he in charge of ANYTHING???
Because he told the idiots he would make everything better. But in Trump language that means better for himself and his cronies, not the idiots that voted for him.
I would say it’s because he promised to be cruel to the people that many morons have been convinced to hate. I honestly cannot say I ever get the feeling that conservatives get very focused on actually making anything better. If they ever did, all a politician needs to do is point at the better thing supposedly helping their “enemies” and it would be back to focusing on “making things fair,” ie. Hurting minorities and the left.
