The 21 clients McGahn identified in his disclosure report included the National Rifle Association, Citizens United Foundation, Republican National Committee and Aaron Schock, the disgraced Illinois congressman who resigned in 2015 amid an investigation into alleged misuse of campaign and public funds.
In addition to his law firm pay, the Trump adviser—who sports long, hard rocker-esque locks—reported $4,900 in earnings from his side hustle playing the guitar in an ‘80s cover band called Scott’s New Band. (He received that income from Friedman Entertainment, a music booking firm.)
McGahn’s full disclosure is here.
►Gregory Katsas, deputy counsel to the president. Katsas raked in nearly $3.9 million last year as a Jones Day partner, buoyed by a 10-client roster including R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Chevron Corp., Procter & Gamble, the U.S. House of Representatives and United Parcel Service.
Katsas said he received the money in his Jones Day capital account when he left the firm for the administration, and also got a departure bonus that was determined by the firm’s autocratic managing partner, Steve Brogan. It’s unclear in the filing how much of his millions from Jones Day last year were the buyouts.
Katsas’ filing also noted that Jones Day’s retirement benefits will leave him $28,000 a year until one month before he dies.
Profits per partner at the firm, which reports a single equity tier, were about $1 million last year, according to reporting by The American Lawyer.
