What the New White House Counsel Made Last Year

White House counsel Robert Bauer made just under $1 million last year as the head of the political law group at Perkins Coie, according to a financial disclosure form he filed this month. Senior White House officials are required to fill out the disclosure form, which covers financial information that could point to potential conflicts of interest. Filings a year ago from President Barack Obama's initial staff drew attention because of the prevalence of millionaires working in the White House.
