NEW YORK (AP) — The new White House press secretary is facing mounting questions about her background and resume as she transitions into her role as the public face of the Trump administration.

Katie Zacharia has long described herself as a lawyer as she has worked to establish herself as a commentator for conservative outlets like Fox News and Newsmax. But so far, she and the White House have offered no evidence that she passed the bar exam in any state or in China, where she worked for a large law firm years ago.

The questions add to the confusion surrounding President Donald Trump’s decision to hire Zacharia, who had worked for his social media company for only a few months when he announced her appointment and whose debut at the podium on Tuesday has been widely panned.

    Trump’s most obvious Chinese spy Press Secretary:

    “I’m a lawyer, I passed the bar in China” (and nowhere else)

    Sure sweetie, the Chinese Bar that foreigners can’t take, working a white monkey job for a Beijing law firm, then her first job back in the States is as Trump’s Press Secretary, 100% a spy.

        Trump is begrudgingly the greatest intelligence win ever, but as an American and someone that wants better human rights this shit is a massive loss for all of us, except those too dumb to get that.

          No? It would be better for human rights and the people living in the US if the US Empire were overthrown and replaced with socialism. Not saying Katie could do that even if she was a spy, but the idea that Chinese infiltration is a danger to the people living in the US is comically bad. The biggest danger would be to the ruling class of the US, but if you think Trump himself is a spy why would they need the press secretary to be one? This is tabloid level nonsense.

    Alternate headline: The latest weird Ivanka clone hired by the American president under scrutiny for probably being just as big of an unqualified dumbfuck as everyone else involved in this feckless, fascist presidency.

    We’ve never seen a demented piece of shit who wanted to bang his own kids more than Donald.
