Donald Trump’s White House Counsel, Pat Cipollone, has the primary duty of providing legal advice to the president and protecting his office. However, critics argue that Cipollone has been ineffective in this role, citing his failure to prevent Trump from obstructing justice and abusing the powers of his office. They also point to Cipollone’s involvement in the Ukraine scandal as evidence of his unsuccessful efforts to shield the president from potential legal repercussions.
