A recent Above the Law roundup highlights an apparent discrepancy in the White House press secretary’s professional biography. The piece notes that she describes herself as a “lawyer,” yet there is no record of her being admitted to any bar. The publication’s headline asks directly: “Where Did Trump's Press Secretary Pass The Bar?”
The answer, according to the source, is vague. When pressed on the matter, she reportedly said, “When I moved to China.” That response, the article observes, suggests she was never actually admitted to practice law anywhere. As the piece puts it, “You can't be disbarred if you were never admitted.”
The item appears in a “See Also” roundup alongside other legal news, including a separate discussion involving former federal judge Alex Kozinski and lethal injection. The source does not connect those topics to the press secretary, and no further details about her legal credentials are provided.
