A former Justice Dept official, Eisenberg has served as top legal adviser to Nat Security Council since start of Trump admin, a tenure that encompasses numerous legal crises, including FBI investigation of former NSA Mike Flynn & Mueller probe of RU interference in 2016 election.

Eisenberg likely would also have played a leading role in the White House efforts to prevent the nation’s intelligence director from turning over a whistleblower complaint about Trump’s Ukraine call to lawmakers.
