President-elect Trump announced his latest staff picks Saturday night, naming four more people to serve in the White House in administrative and advisory capacities.
Trump, who takes office in less than three weeks, began with the appointment of Stanley E. Woodward, Jr., as Assistant to the President and Senior Counsel.
Woodward co-founded a law firm called Brand Woodward Law, LP, where he has “represented numerous high-profile clients in complex, high-stakes litigation, including multiple federal jury trials,” according to Trump.
“He previously worked at a multinational law firm where his experience included representing multiple international corporations in defense of alleged violations of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as well as serving as coordination counsel for companies involved in federal litigation across the country,” the statement read.

“Mr. Gabriel has served President Donald J. Trump in a variety of roles since his 2015 campaign for the most powerful office in the world,” the statement said. He started at Trump Tower as a political adviser to Mr. Trump’s historic campaign.”
“Mr. Gabriel served in the West Wing, throughout the first Trump administration, as Special Assistant to the President.”
