President Barack Obama is quickly filling the ranks of the White House Counsel’s Office, announcing on Wednesday the appointments of 22 new White House lawyers.
Daniel Meltzer will be principal deputy White House counsel to the president, and deputy assistant to the president. He is currently the Story Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. Before joining the Harvard Law faculty in 1982, Meltzer practiced for three years at Williams & Connolly, where Obama’s White House counsel, Gregory Craig, practiced.
