President Trump Announces Staff Secretary Will Scharf Will Be His New White House Counsel
Trump said Scharf, a former federal prosecutor, helped secure approval for the $400 million ballroom project and will replace Warrington on Sept. 1.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf will become White House Counsel effective September 1, replacing David Warrington.
- Previously, Scharf served as Trump-appointed head of the National Capital Planning Commission, securing approval for the $400 million ballroom project. Trump praised him on Truth Social as 'tough, strong, and smart.'
- Scharf, a former federal prosecutor who represented Trump at the Supreme Court, replaces Warrington, who served as personal counsel and lawyer for Trump's 2024 campaign before departing for the private sector.
- The White House Counsel advises on legal and policy questions, serves as primary Justice Department contact, handles presidential pardons, and oversees judicial appointments. The office also manages congressional inquiries and lawsuits against the president.
- This transition occurs months before midterm elections, where the Republican Party will fight to retain control of Congress, and Democrats have vowed to pursue investigations if successful in November. A federal appeals court ruled construction on the ballroom project must stop because Congress had not approved it.
