Trump's new press secretary holds first media briefing

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia conducted her first media briefing Tuesday morning, three weeks before the midterm elections. Reports from Popular Info indicate that although Zacharia holds a JD from Pepperdine Caruso Law and served as general counsel for a nonprofit, she is not licensed to practice law in California, Texas, or Washington, D.C. Critics described her debut performance as awkward and clunky, suggesting her communication style lacked the polish of a professional political spokesperson.
