President-elect Donald Trump named Don McGahn, a former FEC commissioner who previously served as the Trump campaign’s general counsel, to serve as White House counsel in his incoming administration on Friday.
“He will play a critical role in our administration, and I am grateful that he is willing to serve our country at such a high-level capacity,” Trump said according to a statement released by his transition team. The President-elect praised McGahn for his “brilliant legal mind, excellent character and a deep understanding of constitutional law.”
McGahn served as general counsel for the National Republican Congressional Committee for nearly 10 years and later was a “crucial player” in weakening FEC regulations on campaign spending during his five-year tenure at the agency, according to an NBC News report published in March. After he resigned from the agency in 2013, McGahn returned to private law practice.
He joined Trump’s campaign in March as Trump expanded his team to manage a potentially contested Republican convention.
Drain the swamp,right?
You have taken the words out of my mouth.
Yes, drain the swamp…right into the newly constructed cesspool.
An invading army has taken over our capital and is setting about to subjugate and loot the people. Just keep reminding me to reach out to, understand, and not disparage the voters who made it happen lest they do it again. Keep reminding me, because I don’t get it just yet. I continue to err in thinking they’re stupid and they’re going to be laughing out of the other side of their stupid goddamn faces soon enough.
