Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Katie Zacharia
Claim: She passed the bar examination and is qualified to practice law.
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: There is no evidence Zacharia passed a bar exam or was licensed to practice law in any U.S. jurisdiction. She said she passed the bar after moving to China, but Chinese law did not allow a U.S. national in her position to qualify as a Chinese lawyer, and a legal scholar told Snopes there was “no possibility” she passed China’s bar exam.
