Uttam Dhillon (Comey guy) and Mike Berry (Brennan guy) have been advising the White House to go along with redacting the DOJ documents...I think the McCain comment was a dummy, and they caught the leaker from before. So this is the guy that was outed by the NYT before claimed he misled President Donald Trump about whether he could fire former FBI Director James Comey.
Government service: Dhillon has worked in the federal government on and off since 1990. In addition to serving as chief oversight counsel for the House Financial Services Committee, a job he held from 2013-2017, he also worked for the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Republican Policy Committee from 2002-2003, and the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight from 1997-1998. He was head of of Homeland Security's Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement under President George W. Bush from 2006-2009, and an associate deputy attorney general at the DOJ from 2003-2006. He also worked in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles from 1990-1997.
Married to EEOC nominee: Dhillon's wife is on her way to joining her husband in federal government work. Trump nominated Janet Dhillon, the general counsel at Burlington Stores Inc., to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last June. Janet Dhillon's ethics agreement does not mention her husband's White House job.
Worked for Comey: As Buzzfeed News' Chris Geidner reported, Uttam Dhillon actually worked for Comey during his time at the Justice Department, from 2003-2006. In his role as associate deputy attorney general, Dhillon worked right under Comey, who was deputy attorney general from 2003-2005.
