President Donald Trump’s new press secretary Katie Zacharia is facing criticism over her background after a watchdog filed a complaint scrutinizing the new White House appointee’s claim that she is a lawyer.

The questions started Tuesday after Zacharia was asked where she passed the bar exam, to which she responded: “When I moved to China.” She has referred to herself as an attorney, and Trump has called her a lawyer, but new reports allege Zacharia never passed the required test to be sworn in and receive her law license.
