President-elect Donald Trump has appointed David A. Warrington as the new White House Counsel, replacing his initial choice, Bill McGinley. Warrington, previously Trump's personal attorney and general counsel for his presidential campaign, will serve as Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President. This decision comes after Trump initially named McGinley for the role but has since reassigned him to serve as Counsel to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a new initiative aimed at reducing government waste and regulations. Trump has expressed his confidence in Warrington's legal expertise and conservative leadership, highlighting his role in high-stakes legal battles. McGinley's new position will involve working with notable figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to streamline government operations.
