STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden named former federal prosecutor and Chicago lawyer Ed Siskel as his top White House lawyer on Tuesday, saying the former White House deputy counsel would start his new post next month.
"For nearly four years in the White House when I was vice president, he helped the Counsel’s Office navigate complex challenges and advance the president’s agenda on behalf of the American people," Biden wrote."His experience will let him hit the ground running as a key leader on my team." U.S. House Republicans have sought to escalate their probes into the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter, and some right-wing lawmakers have sought an impeachment investigation into the president.
As the top lawyer for the nation's third-largest city, he sued the Trump administration in 2017 over its so-called sanctuary city policy.
