White House counsel Don McGahn “is expected to step down later this year, though his resignation is contingent on the president finding a replacement and several other factors,” Politico reports.
“McGahn, according to two of the sources, has signaled interest in returning to the Jones Day law firm where he previously worked and reprising a role he had during the 2016 campaign by handling legal matters for Trump’s re-election.”
