President Joe Biden named Ed Siskel to be the new White House counsel as investigations into the president’s previous handling of classified materials and his son’s business dealings ramp up.

Siskel, who served as deputy White House counsel during the Obama administration, is replacing Stuart Delery, who announced his departure last week. Siskel previously served as a federal prosecutor and top counsel for the city of Chicago.
