    "rationale": "Zacharia acknowledged in an October 15 interview that she had not passed the bar exam. Popular Information's search found no admission in any U.S. state or D.C.; the White House supplied no licensing evidence. She has a Pepperdine law degree and cited work in China, but those facts do not establish admission as an attorney. She herself distinguished the label lawyer from attorney at law.",
