The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that Zacharia sat for the California bar exam after she received her law degree from Pepperdine University, but she did not pass. The Journal reported that Zacharia moved to China shortly after and took a job as an associate at the Zhong Lun Law Firm.
The watchdog group Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the State Bar of California on Wednesday over her claims that she is a lawyer.
To play devils advocate mishearing something or accidentally mispeaking isn’t the same thing as false representation. If she was to be charged over this they’d need to show that she did this intentionally which is a higher bar that I’m not sure they could actually pass.
Certainly a higher bar than she passed!
She’s actually been on fox 16 times in the past few years making statements of “as a lawyer” and “as general counsel to” as well as podcast appearances representing herself as such so there’s a lot of evidence already.
