华盛顿讯 —— 特朗普总统表示，负责监管其信息流转、文书工作及行政命令的白宫幕僚秘书威尔·沙夫将出任下一任白宫法律顾问。
特朗普周日在真相社交（Truth Social）平台上宣布，沙夫将于9月1日接替现任白宫法律顾问戴维·沃林顿，后者将转型进入私营部门。沙夫在白宫最引人注目的职责是向总统递交待签署的行政命令，并口头说明总统正在签署的文件内容。他同时兼任国家首都规划委员会主席，该委员会正负责监管总统纪念拱门等项目。
“威尔坚韧、强势且聪慧！他同样热爱我们的国家，尊重法律，”总统写道，“威尔·沙夫担任白宫法律顾问定会表现出色！”

现年40岁的沙夫毕业于普林斯顿大学，拥有哈佛大学法学院法学学位。2020年至2022年期间，他曾担任密苏里州联邦检察官办公室助理检察官，在负责暴力犯罪的专案组履职。
白宫法律顾问是白宫的首席法务官，为总统及其团队提供内部法律指导。
沙夫的上任节点临近中期选举，届时民主党有可能夺回国会参众两院中的一院或两院控制权。2019年民主党掌控众议院后，特朗普及其团队遭遇了大量传票和调查，最终导致其首次被弹劾。
就在特朗普宣布任命沙夫的前一天，参议院确认了特朗普前个人辩护律师托德·布兰切出任美国司法部长。
Trump taps staff secretary Will Scharf to be next White House counsel

Washington — President Trump says White House staff secretary Will Scharf, his aide who oversees his flow of information, paperwork and executive orders, will be the next White House counsel.
Scharf will replace current White House counsel, David Warrington, on Sept. 1, the president announced Sunday on Truth Social, as Warrington transitions to the private sector. Scharf’s most visible role in the White House is as the man who hands the president executive orders to sign and explains aloud what he is signing. He is also the chair of the National Capital Planning Commission, which is overseeing projects like the president’s triumphal arch.
“Will is Tough, Strong, and Smart! He also loves our Country, and respects the Law,” the president wrote. “Will Scharf will do a great job as White House Counsel!”

Scharf, 40, graduated from Princeton University and received his law degree from Harvard University Law School. He was an assistant U.S. attorney in Missouri in a unit prosecuting violent crimes from 2020 to 2022.
The White House counsel is the White House’s top lawyer who provides in-house legal guidance to the president and the president’s team.
Scharf’s onboarding comes shortly before the midterm elections, and the possibility that Democrats win back one or both chambers of Congress. After Democrats took control of the House in 2019, Mr. Trump and his team were bombarded with subpoenas and investigations, culminating in his first impeachment.
The president’s announcement of Scharf came one day after the Senate confirmed Todd Blanche, the president’s former personal defense attorney, to be U.S. attorney general.
