Trump Names Will Scharf as White House Counsel Ahead of Midterms President Donald Trump has appointed Will Scharf as his new White House counsel, a move that comes at a time when Democrats are vowing to investigate Trump's administration if they gain control of Congress in November's midterm elections.
Scharf is no stranger to Trump's inner circle. He joined the president's legal team in 2023 and worked on several high profile cases.
His promotion also reflects his long standing ties to Trump, dating back to his work as a federal prosecutor during the president's first term.
