前拜登白宫新闻秘书詹·普萨基周二在扎卡里亚首次白宫简报会后嘲笑了总统唐纳德·特朗普的新任新闻秘书凯蒂·扎卡里亚。
Former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked President Donald Trump's new press secretary Katie Zacharia on Tuesday, following Zacharia's first White House briefing.
普萨基在引用研究人员无法核实其加入州律师协会资格的报道后，质疑了扎卡里亚的法律资历。这位前拜登白宫新闻秘书还批评了扎卡里亚处理首次简报会的方式，并暗示特朗普任命了一位法律资历仍不明确的人。
Psaki questioned Zacharia's legal credentials after citing reports that researchers could not verify her admission to a state bar. The former Biden White House press secretary also criticized Zacharia's handling of her first briefing and suggested Trump had appointed someone whose legal qualifications remained unclear.
“凯蒂·扎卡里亚到底在哪里获得执业律师资格？这真是个奇怪的谜题，对吧？……可能是个假律师？我不知道。她可以回答问题并提供澄清，”普萨基在她的节目《詹·普萨基简报》中说。扎卡里亚在向福克斯新闻数字版发表的声明中回应了批评，捍卫了她的专业经验。
"So where exactly is Katie Zachariah licensed to practice law? It is a very weird mystery, right?... A potentially fake lawyer? I don't know. She could answer the questions and provide clarity," Psaki said during her show, "The Briefing with Jen Psaki."
“我从事国际交易法律工作，具备所有适当的资质，”扎卡里亚说。
Zacharia responded to the criticism in a statement to Fox News Digital, defending her professional experience.
白宫新闻办公室表示，扎卡里亚于2011年获得佩珀代因大学法学博士学位。
"I practiced international transaction law, with all the appropriate credentials," Zacharia said.
该大学在她任命后发表的一份声明中确认了她的教育背景。佩珀代因大学校长吉姆·加什曾在她担任该校法学院研究助理期间与她共事，他在特朗普宣布任命后称赞了她。
Zacharia earned her Juris Doctorate from Pepperdine University in 2011, the White House press office said. The university confirmed her educational background in a statement published following her appointment. Pepperdine President Jim Gash, who previously worked with Zacharia when she served as his research assistant at the university's law school, praised her following Trump's announcement.
佩珀代因大学很荣幸能将凯蒂列为我们的校友、前同事和朋友之一，加什说。“她承担起这一重要责任时，我们祈求上帝赐予她智慧和勇气。我们期待看到她在为国家服务的过程中发挥她惊人的才能和丰富经验。” 卡罗琳·利维特离开白宫新闻秘书职务后加入福克斯新闻担任撰稿人。共和党全国委员会发言人娜塔莉·巴尔达萨雷也在向福克斯新闻数字版的声明中为扎卡里亚辩护，批评普萨基的电视事业以及她在前总统乔·拜登时期对白宫简报室的处理方式。
"Pepperdine is proud to count Katie among our alumni, former colleagues, and friends," Gash said. "As she takes on this significant responsibility, we pray that God will grant her wisdom and courage. We look forward to seeing her use her incredible gifts and extensive experience in service to our nation." KAROLINE LEAVITT JOINS FOX NEWS AS CONTRIBUTOR AFTER LEAVING WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY ROLE Republican National Committee spokesperson Natalie Baldassarre also defended Zacharia in a statement to Fox News Digital, criticizing Psaki's television career and her handling of the White House briefing room under former President Joe Biden.
“詹恩·普萨基正在做她最擅长的事——试图绕回来说服观众，以挽救她节目收视率的下滑，”她说。“凯蒂·扎卡里亚是特朗普总统坚定不移的支持者，也是一位敏锐的沟通者；她值得赞誉，因为她在第一天就勇敢地跳进深坑，面对普萨基和拜登多年来一直在回避的媒体。” 普萨基在播放新任新闻秘书介绍性讲话的片段之前，暗示她怀念扎卡里亚的前任卡罗琳·利维特。扎卡里亚感谢特朗普任命她并表达了加入政府的热情后，普萨基批评了她的表达方式。
"Jen Psaki's doing what she does best — trying to circle back to relevance to save her failing show," she said. "Katie Zacharia is an unwavering supporter of President Trump and a sharp communicator; she deserves credit for jumping into the pit on her first day to face the media Psaki and Biden spent years dodging." Psaki suggested she missed Zacharia's predecessor, Karoline Leavitt, before playing clips from the new press secretary's introductory remarks. After Zacharia thanked Trump for appointing her and expressed enthusiasm about joining the administration, Psaki criticized her delivery.
“哦，凯蒂，凯蒂，凯蒂，我现在就已经感到非常不舒服，而且今天我已经多次观看了这段内容，”普萨基说。“你自己一个人把所有这些词都读完，不用发出任何声音，至少在讲台后面不必这样，也许是在上台之前。” 简报结束后，当记者询问她的表现时，特朗普称赞了他的新任新闻秘书。“我觉得她表现得很好，”特朗普说。
"Oh, Katie, Katie, Katie, I am so deeply uncomfortable already, and I've watched it multiple times today," Psaki said. "Read all those words all by yourself without having to sound anything out, at least not while standing behind the podium, maybe BEFORE." Following the briefing, Trump praised his new press secretary when reporters asked about her performance. "I thought she was very good," Trump said.
白宫周二发表声明，赞扬扎卡里亚的首场新闻简报，并突出她关于政府议程、媒体渠道以及对在职父母支持的讲话。
The White House issued a statement Tuesday praising Zacharia's introductory briefing and highlighting her remarks about the administration's agenda, media access and support for working parents.
“凯蒂·扎卡里亚作为第37任白宫新闻秘书，发表了一场具有号召力的首场新闻简报，”声明中说。
"Katie Zacharia delivered a commanding inaugural press briefing as the 37th White House Press Secretary," the statement said.
这场新闻发布会引发了媒体的广泛报道，不仅为她上任后的工作奠定了良好基调，也充分展现了特朗普政府为美国民众创造历史性成就的实绩。
"The briefing, which generated wall-to-wall coverage, served as a strong introduction to her tenure and highlighted the Trump Administration’s record of delivering historic successes for the American people."
