This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON, Aug 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden named former federal prosecutor and Chicago lawyer Ed Siskel as his top White House lawyer on Tuesday, saying the former White House deputy counsel would start his new post next month.

Siskel served in the White House Counsel’s office for nearly four years when Biden was vice president under former President Barack Obama, including as deputy counsel, the White House said in a statement.

“For nearly four years in the White House when I was vice president, he helped the Counsel’s Office navigate complex challenges and advance the president’s agenda on behalf of the American people,” Biden wrote.

The appointment comes as Biden seeks to advance his legislative agenda and faces ongoing Republican-led congressional investigations.

He previously was a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Illinois and was a clerk for then-Justice John Stevens on the U.S. Supreme Court, the White House said.

Siskel replaces Stuart Delery, who is stepping down after serving as White House counsel since July 2022.

Wait until Biden names Ebert as his next Chief of Staff…

So a lawyer who thought droning American citizens was legal?
