Trump taps Will Scharf as new White House Counsel, effective Sept. 1, replacing David Warrington—whom Trump praised for his outstanding work before his move to private sector. Scharf, currently White House Staff Secretary and former chair of the National Capital Planning Commission, brings a formidable legal pedigree: federal prosecutor, Supreme Court litigator, Princeton and Harvard Law School grad, and clerk for two federal appeals judges. Trump lauds him as tough, smart, and deeply patriotic—a perfect fit for navigating the administration’s legal challenges while aligning with Trump’s vision, including high-profile projects like the White House ballroom. This move signals a fresh chapter for the White House legal team.
