Obama Taps More Ex-Clinton Officials to Fill Top Posts

HeadlineNov 17, 2008

Meanwhile, President-elect Obama has named more former Clinton administration officials to top posts. Obama has reportedly picked Gregory Craig to be his White House counsel. Craig served as President Bill Clinton’s lead attorney during the 1998 impeachment proceedings. Obama’s transition team has also named Ronald Klain to be chief of staff to Vice President-elect Joseph Biden. Klain previously served as Vice President Al Gore’s chief of staff and as a lobbyist. Klain’s lobbying clients have included the failed mortgage giant Fannie Mae, the media giant Time Warner, and the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, a business group that sought government help resolving asbestos lawsuits.
