This is a crime in California, so we continue to urge the State Bar to investigate and impose any appropriate penalties.”
Campaign for Accountability filed a complaint with the State Bar of California asking it to investigate whether newly appointed White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia violated California law by repeatedly holding herself out as a lawyer, even though published reporting indicates she has never been admitted to practice law in California or any other U.S. jurisdiction.
