Trump names four more senior White House officials to his team

President-elect Donald Trump continues filling out his team as he announced on Saturday four additional senior White House officials in advance of his January 20 inauguration.

Trump named Stanley Woodward as senior counselor to the White House legal team, saying he will work closely with incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, according to The Hill. 

Woodward has represented a number of Trump’s top associates and aides. “Previously, he worked at a multinational law firm where his experience included the representation of multiple international corporations in defense of alleged violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as serving as coordinating counsel to companies involved in nationwide federal litigation,” Trump said Saturday. 

Robert Gabriel Jr. will be returning to work for Trump as the assistant to the president for policy. Most recently he worked as an associate producer on Fox News’s “The Ingraham Angle,” and before that he worked as an adviser to Trump’s Save America Leadership PAC, among other positions. 

Trump picked Nicholas Luna as deputy chief of staff for strategic implementation. Luna previously worked on Vice President-elect JD Vance’s team. Luna testified in front of the House select committee looking into the Jan. 6 attack. 

Trump called Luna a “highly respected White House veteran and a Trump-Vance campaign warrior.” He said Luna will “oversee Presidential scheduling, and ensure that external White House messaging, outreach, and operations are aligned with the administration’s short- and long-term objectives.” 

William “Beau” Harrison was picked by Trump to be an assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff for operations. During Trump’s first term as president, Harrison was “the liaison between the operational elements of the Executive Office of the President” Trump said. 

Trump called Harrison a “trusted aide” who “led multiple U.S. delegations across the globe in countries such as North Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and played a critical role in planning each of the historic summits with DPRK Leader Kim Jong-Un,” according to the president-elect.
