Bob Bauer, a top lawyer in the Obama administration, wrote on the Lawfare blog that the memorandum, sent by current White House counsel Pat Cipollone to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats, “sounds like one [written] by a personal defense lawyer for Donald Trump.” The White House counsel represents the institution of the presidency and not the president’s personal interests.
