A top White House legal aide, Samuel D. Adkisson, is leaving to become a federal judge in Tennessee, marking another major shakeup in the administration’s legal team. Known for his role defending the president’s FTC commissioner removal — a Supreme Court win — Adkisson’s departure follows other high-profile exits, including the press secretary and deputy NSC chief. The president publicly praised him on social media, while Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty backed his judicial appointment, vowing swift confirmation. Meanwhile, David Worthington, the lead White House Counsel, has also stepped down, with Will Scharf taking over — seen as a rising star within the administration. These rapid changes signal a period of transition as the team reshapes for upcoming political challenges.
