White House Press Secretary Admits No Law License, Says She Misheard Question

TREE NEWS update: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt admitted she never obtained a law license, saying she mentioned China because she misheard a question about her post-law-school career. US media widely say she lied or at least misled the public about her résumé. The episode drew intense reaction from Japanese netizens, who compared it to longstanding résumé-falsification allegations against Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, with some saying she started the practice of entering politics through résumé fraud.
