Donald Trump is bringing yet another one of his lawyers to his administration, this time bringing an attorney who helped him get a sweeping ‘immunity’ decision out of the Supreme Court to a powerful White House post.

Trump’s transition team announced Saturday that Will Scharf will join serve as White House Staff Secretary an an assistant to the president.

‘Will is a highly skilled attorney who will be a crucial part of my White House team. He has played a key role in defeating the Election Interference and Lawfare waged against me, including by winning the Historic Immunity Decision in the Supreme Court,’ Trump wrote.

Trump also cited his efforts helping to push through the confirmation of Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, who formed part of the conservative majority on the immunity decision as well as the landmark decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Scharf is just off an unsuccessful run for state AG in Missouri.

He is far from the only member of Trump’s legal team to score a plum assignment.

Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump in his Stormy Daniels hush money trial, are getting nominated for the Number Two and Number Three jobs at the Justice Department.

Trump has nominated another one of his lawyer, John Sauer, to be U.S. solicitor general.

Scharf and Sauer both work at the James Otis Law Firm, repping Trump both in the immunity case and seeking to lift a ‘gag’ order in his federal election interference case.

The Staff Secretary post is an important one, helping steer the flow of memos and information to the president.

During his first term, Staff Secretary Rob Porter resigned after DailyMail.com reported stunning abuse allegations by his ex-wife.

The announcement comes after Trump and his associates have said he is prizing ‘loyalty’ in his appointments for his second term.

The news came as Trump headed to New York to catch an Ultimate Fighting Championship bout.

Trump also announced Saturday that oil and gas industry executive Chris Wright, a staunch defender of fossil fuel use, would be his pick to lead the Department of Energy.

Wright is the founder and CEO of Liberty Energy, an oilfield services firm based in Denver. He is expected to support Trump’s plan to maximize production of oil and gas and to seek ways to boost generation of electricity, demand for which is rising for the first time in decades.

He is also likely to share Trump’s opposition to global cooperation on fighting climate change. Wright has called climate change activists alarmist and has likened efforts by Democrats to combat global warming to Soviet-style communism.

“There is no climate crisis, and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition, either,” Wright said in a video posted to his LinkedIn profile last year.

Wright, who does not have any political experience, has written extensively on the need for more fossil fuel production to lift people out of poverty.

He has stood out among oil and gas executives for his freewheeling style, and describes himself as a tech nerd.

Wright made a media splash in 2019 when he drank fracking fluid on camera to demonstrate it was not dangerous.

U.S. oil output hit the highest level any country has ever produced under Biden, and it is uncertain how much Wright and the incoming administration could boost that.

Most drilling decisions are driven by private companies working on land not owned by the federal government.

The Department of Energy handles U.S. energy diplomacy, administers the Strategic Petroleum Reserve – which Trump has said he wants to replenish – and runs grant and loan programs to advance energy technologies, such as the Loan Programs Office.

The secretary also oversees the aging U.S. nuclear weapons complex, nuclear energy waste disposal, and 17 national labs.

If confirmed by the Senate, Wright will replace Jennifer Granholm, a supporter of electric vehicles, emerging energy sources like geothermal power and a backer of carbon-free wind, solar and nuclear energy.

Wright will also likely be involved in permitting of electricity transmission and the expansion of nuclear power, an energy source that is popular with both Republicans and Democrats but which is expensive and complicated to permit.

Power demand in the United States is surging for the first time in two decades amid growth in artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and cryptocurrencies.
