Vice President Pence is hiring a former George W. Bush administration official to serve as his office's legal counsel.
Pence's office confirmed Monday that Gregory Jacob will take over the role being vacated by Matt Morgan, who is joining the Trump reelection campaign as director of litigation and legislation.
"Greg is a man of deep professional experience, but also one of personal integrity and character, with a heart for helping those most in need," Marc Short, chief of staff to the vice president, said in a statement. "He’s going to be a perfect fit in the Vice President’s office.”
Jacob previously worked in a variety of positions in the George W. Bush administration, including managing the Department of Labor's litigation portfolio as solicitor of labor.
He also worked for a year on the White House Domestic Policy Council and spent roughly three years as an attorney adviser in the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice.

Like the Bourbons, they learn nothing...
Why didn’t he hire somebody from the 0bama administration or Hillary’s campaign staff instead?
Pence is a weirdo.
He is a pro-life Christian, apparently faithful to his wife and family, and has been loyal and supportive to Trump. So why the insult?
Pence was part of the House leadership team of Boehner, Cantor, Ryan and McCarthy.
No, during 90% of the coup attempt, he was utterly silent. He was also behind the firing of Flynn, claiming Flynn lied to him by saying sanctions were not discussed during the conversation with the Russian Ambassador. When the Ambassador asked, Flynn said that would have to be a topic for another date.
Yates ran to Pence and said it was discussed. Pence ran onto meet the press and said he was lied to.
This forced out Flynn and brought in the GOPe McMaster wing which resisted Trump in dozens of ways for 3 years.
Pence was silent on the coup. The veep is supposed to be the attack dog. He is a pit yorkie. He’s just another neocon and has spent way to much time polishing his “I’m sad to take the helm and heal the nation speech” if you ask me.
And he calls his wife “mother” and was really upset at the Access Hollywood tape. She almost made him quit the race. He’s a beta cuck.
Pence is a snake in the grass.
So Pence is the liar and Flynn did not? Is that what you are saying?
The veep is supposed to be the attack dog
Uh, not really. Cheney was the exception, but most other VP's come out only for ceremonial reasons. An actual working VP is rare.
You are of course entitled to your opinion.
Pense is a Mr. Rodgers form of a Bushie. Supports Trump and is nice as all get out, but still deepstate. He’ll learn once this idiot betrays him to get to Trump.
