President-elect Donald Trump said he would appoint David Warrington as White House counsel, substituting his campaign lawyer for a previously announced pick to serve as the president’s chief in-house lawyer.
Bill McGinley, who Trump announced as White House counsel just three weeks ago, will instead advise the Department of Government Efficiency — a quasi-public body to be led by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and former campaign rival Vivek Ramaswamy.
