The White House Counsel represents the Office of the President, not the President personally. He advises on Are legality of actions, bills, executive orders, etc.

He would not represent the President for personal conduct, therefore attorney-client privilege would not apply for collusion or obstruction. However, executive privilege would apply to separation of powers issues.
