Pat Cipollone White House Counsel

In October 2018, Cipollone was named White House Counsel by President Donald Trump. Cipollone succeeded Don McGahn who left office on October 17, 2018. Emmet Flood served as counsel until his background security check was completed. Cipollone officially assumed the role on December 10, 2018.

In his role as White House Counsel, Pat has been the public face of the White House response to the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. In October 2019, Cipollone signed an eight-page letter to Democratic House leaders stating that the White House would not cooperate in any way with the inquiry. He laid out a broad view of executive authority and said that Democrats’ actions violate “the Constitution, the rule of law, and every past precedent”.

In December 2019, Cipollone wrote two letters in response to an invitation from Jerry Nadler, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, for the White House or Trump himself to participate in its hearings. Cipollone said the White House and Trump would not participate because the planned hearings do not “provide the president with any semblance of a fair process” and the inquiry is “completely baseless”. On January 14, 2020, Cipollone was named to the team of attorneys who will represent President Donald Trump in the impeachment hearing case.
