White House counsel Dana Remus is preparing to leave her post next month – at a time when the president’s legal team must prepare for the possibility of aggressive Republican probes or even a GOP impeachment.
Remus’ departure marks yet another White House official leaving Biden in recent weeks amid his poor polling numbers and the upcoming midterm election.
“I am immensely grateful for the service of Dana Remus, who has been an invaluable member of my senior staff for the past 3 years and helped reinstate a culture of adherence to the rule of law. I wish her the best as she moves forward,” Biden said in a White House statement.
Stuart Delery, who currently is deputy counsel, will replace Remus when she departs, Biden said.
House Republicans are publicly vowing to probe Biden, and 147 of them voted not to accept votes certified by states on Jan. 6th.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has introduced a Biden impeachment resolution, stating that he ‘abused the power’ of his office when he was vice president. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) says Republicans have already drawn up impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The president’s son could be in the GOP’s crosshairs, after months of revelations about his business dealings.
‘The House Oversight Committee is going to be all over Hunter Biden,’ vowed Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who would take over the powerful investigative panel if Republicans seize the House majority.
Delery ‘has advised on key Administration priorities including the COVID-19 response, the American Rescue Plan, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework.
In another staff move, the White House announced that Keisha Lance Bottoms will join the administration as Senior Advisor to the President for Public Engagement.
Bottoms is the former mayor of Atlanta and current CNN commentator – in just the latest instance of back-and-forth between the White House and cable media. She will be senior advisor to the president for public engagement.
