Trump Names David Warrington as White House Counsel, Replacing Bill McGinley

McGinley reassigned to lead legal efforts in the new Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

President-elect Donald Trump announced David Warrington, his campaign's general counsel, as his new pick for White House counsel.
Bill McGinley, initially chosen for the role, will now serve as counsel for the Department of Government Efficiency, tasked with cutting government spending and regulations.
The shift comes after reports that McGinley's initial selection was influenced by Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, who is under scrutiny for alleged financial misconduct.
Warrington, a Marine Corps veteran, previously represented Trump during the January 6 investigation and has longstanding ties to Republican legal efforts.
Trump praised both Warrington and McGinley, calling their roles critical to his administration's goals of legal leadership and government reform.
