They also determined it did not constitute a bribe because the gift did not hinge on an official act.<\/p>\n<p>Chris LaCivita, Trump\u2019s campaign manager, told the Times in September of last year that Warrington \u201cdoesn\u2019t lead with the answer, \u2018No.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5163\">CNN Data Guru Humiliates Trump After Disastrous Jobs Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, it\u2019s, \u2018Let\u2019s figure out what is in the art of the possible,\u2019\u201d LaCivita said. <\/p>\n<p>Trump did not say why Warrington was leaving the White House just months ahead of the midterms. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>In his Truth Social post, the president praised Scharf, who, like Warrington, served as Trump\u2019s personal attorney. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know Will well! He previously represented me in numerous cases, including at the Supreme Court, during the Biden Administration\u2019s corrupt and illegal campaign of Weaponization,\u201d Trump wrote, before touting his background as an attorney and a graduate of Princeton and Harvard.<\/p>\n<p>Trump appointed Scharf, 40, as chair of the National Capital Planning Commission, which has oversight into Trump\u2019s construction projects in D.C., days before Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced plans for the White House ballroom in July last year. The commission has since approved the construction of the $400 million ballroom, as well as the $100 million Triumphal Arch.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Scharf is known around D.C. as \u201cthe folder guy\u201d for his role in handing Executive Order folders to Trump during signing ceremonies. He unsuccessfully ran for attorney general in Missouri in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5162\">CNN Host Schools Nancy Mace in Fiery Live Interview<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s top legal adviser David Warrington, who helped push the limits of presidential power, is leaving the White House.
