Begun in 1998, the White House Transition Project provides information about individual offices for staff coming into the White House to help streamline the process of transition from one administration to the next. A nonpartisan, nonprofit group, the WHTP brings together political science scholars who study the presidency and White House operations to write analytical pieces on relevant topics about presidential transitions, presidential appointments, and crisis management. Since its creation, it has participated in the 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, and now the 2021. WHTP coordinates with government agencies and other non-profit groups, e.g., the US National Archives or the Partnership for Public Service. It also consults with foreign governments and organizations interested in improving governmental transitions, worldwide. See the project at http://whitehousetransitionproject.org The White House Transition Project produces a number of materials, including: • WHITE HOUSE OFFICE ESSAYS: Based on interviews with key personnel who have borne these unique responsibilities, including former White House Chiefs of Staff; Staff Secretaries; Counsels; Press Secretaries, etc. , WHTP produces briefing books for each of the critical White House offices. These briefs compile the best practices suggested by those who have carried out the duties of these office.

Printed in the United States of America 10 Testimony by White House Officials Administrations will often claim that White House aides are exempt from appearing before congressional committees. White House Counsels advise lawmakers that “it is a longstanding principle, rooted in the Constitutional separation of powers and the authority vested in the President by Article II of the Constitution, that White House officials generally do not testify before Congress, except in extraordinary circumstances not present here.”1 Take note of the two qualifications: “generally” and “except in extraordinary circum- stances.” Caution here is well advised. Although White House aides do not testify on a regular basis, under cer- tain conditions they do, and in large numbers. Intense and escalating politi- cal pressures may convince the White House that the President is best served by having these aides testify to ventilate an issue fully, hoping to scotch sus- picions of a cover-up or criminal conduct.

  • Trump's Florida Fundraiser Flourishes As New Washington Lobbyist by Bill Allison | March 5, 2018 4:00AM ET
    This document is being prepared for the exclusive use of GLENN GRAB at HARRIS CORPORATION Trump's Florida Fundraiser Flourishes as New Washington Lobbyist By Bill Allison | March 5, 2018 4:00AM ET A stranger to Washington has emerged as a winner in the ruthless world of lobbying in the nation’s capital, thanks in part to his ties to President Donald Trump. Brian Ballard, the Florida fundraiser often sought out by Republican presidential candidates, was best known in Tallahassee until election night 2016. When the state was called for Trump, Ballard’s cellphone lit up with clients looking for a guide into the new administration. Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg Brian Ballard Disclosures now show just how lucrative those services can be: by the end of 2017, Ballard Partners LP had racked up $9.8 million in federal lobbying fees, the most of any new K Street arrival in the two decades such records have been available. © 2018 BGOV LLC All Rights Reserved Page 1 of 4 This document is being prepared for the exclusive use of GLENN GRAB at HARRIS CORPORATION Trump’s surprising victory and Ballard’s relationship with him proved pivotal as clients looked for someone who knew the outsider in the White House. Ballard first met Trump in the 1980s and had represented the real estate developer in Florida since 2013. After opening his Washington office, Ballard scored major clients, including American Airlines Group Inc. and Prudential Financial Inc., disclosures with the Senate Office of Public Records show. ‘Drain the Swamp’ The firm’s success is emblematic of a lobbying boom that belies Trump’s vow to “Drain the Swamp." With companies looking to exploit a one-party government that has promised to be more business- friendly, overall spending on lobbyists increased to $3.34 billion in 2017 from $3.15 billion, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Bush and his executive branch lawyers have earned widespread and often scathing criticism for their extreme positions and practices regarding the scope of presidential authority. The war on terror that followed the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks provided the context for their most controversial claims of unilateral authority: to override legal prohibitions on the use of torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; to hold “enemy combatants” indefinitely without access to counsel or any opportunity to challenge their detention; and to engage in domestic electronic surveillance without a court order. The administration’s efforts to expand presidential power, however, were not confined to post-9/11 national security issues; they date from President Bush’s earliest days

  • Contempt of Congress V. Executive Privilege
    CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS V. EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE Todd David Peterson INTRODUCTION It is no secret that the George W. Bush Administration made a ma- jor effort to expand (or restore, depending upon one’s perspective) the President’s power with respect to the other branches of govern- ment.1 In particular, the Bush Administration attempted to streng- then the President’s power to withhold documents from Congress and the courts under the doctrine of executive privilege,2 which had taken quite a beating during the Clinton Administration.3 Near the end of President Bush’s first term, he won a major victory when the Supreme Court ruled that he did not even have to assert executive privilege in order to protect from disclosure documents relating to the National Energy Policy Development Group, chaired by Vice President Cheney (and commonly known as the “Energy Task Force”).4 The President managed to avoid a major confrontation with Congress over executive privilege until after the 2006 election, when the Democrats regained control of the House of Representa- tives and began to conduct more vigorous oversight of the executive branch.

  • John Feehery Joins Quinn Gillespie & Associates Republican
    1133 Connecticut Ave, NW Fifth Floor Washington, DC 20036 | t: 202-457-1110 | fax: 202-457-1136 | www.qga.com John Feehery Joins Quinn Gillespie & Associates Republican Strategist to Lead Communications Practice (Washington D.C. – October 6, 2010) — Quinn Gillespie and Associates (QGA) announced today that John Feehery, President of The Feehery Group and editor of the Feehery Theory blog, has been made a director at the firm and named President of QGA Communications. In this capacity he will provide government relations and strategic communications counsel to QGA’s roster of clients that range from Fortune 500s and savvy startups to foreign governments and advocacy coalitions. “John Feehery is a force in this town,” said QGA Chairman Jack Quinn. “He brings to us a potent combination of policy expertise and strategic communications experience. He further strengthens our deep Republican bench that includes Marc Lampkin, former general counsel to Republican Leader John Boehner, David Lugar, a longtime Republican strategist and fundraiser, and Dave Hoppe, a 30-year Senate Republican leadership aide.” Before founding The Feehery Group in early 2007, John Feehery held the position of Executive Vice President for Global Government Affairs at the Motion Picture Association of America. Prior to that, Feehery held a variety of communications roles with House Leadership that include speechwriting for House Minority Leader Bob Michel, Communications Director for House Majority Whip Tom DeLay and top spokesman for Speaker J. Dennis Hastert. He is a respected communications and advocacy strategist, and is frequently sought as a political commentator for a number of media outlets. QGA Founder and former partner Ed Gillespie applauded the move, saying, “QGA was founded on the belief that strategic communications is an essential element to an effective government relations campaign.
