White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt Admits: I Failed the Bar Exam

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt admitted that she did not pass the bar exam after facing scrutiny regarding her legal career before becoming the primary spokesperson for the American president.

Leavitt, who joined the White House on Monday, had previously stated that she practiced law before entering politics, and Trump described her as a lawyer.

Asked in an interview on "Fox News" whether she had failed the bar exam, host Sean Hannity confirmed that this was true, and she said she had not retaken the exam when asked if she had applied for it a second time.

Leavitt received her law degree from Pepperdine University in 2011, according to the university. Almost all licensed attorneys in the United States first obtain a law degree, but law school graduates cannot legally practice law in the US without first being admitted to a state bar association.

During her first press briefing on Tuesday, she received questions from only three reporters before ending the event in less than 15 minutes. Some media commentators and political analysts criticized her performance, although Trump told journalists he thought she was very good.

When Hannity asked her about her performance, she said that what she felt was that she truly rose to the occasion of holding the press conference with very little preparation time.
