According to Above the Law, Katie Zacharia — who served as press secretary under Trump — presented herself as a "lawyer" in at least 18 Fox News appearances. The outlet says it found no record of her being admitted to practice in any U.S. jurisdiction.
The report specifically notes California, where Zacharia at one point claimed to be a general counsel. If she was not licensed there, that could amount to unauthorized practice of law, a serious regulatory issue.
The article does not include any response from Zacharia or confirmation of her credentials. It frames the discrepancy as an apparent gap between her public persona and official bar records.
