Biden says farewell to trusted adviser Delery amidst inquiries.
President Biden Commends Outgoing White House Counsel Stuart Delery
President Joe Biden expressed his admiration for White House counsel Stuart Delery, recognizing his invaluable contributions in navigating congressional Republican and special counsel investigations. Delery, who initially served as a member of the transition team, has been a trusted adviser and a constant source of innovative legal thinking since the beginning of the Biden administration.
“From his tireless efforts in combating the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuring the swift distribution of life-saving vaccines to the American public, to his instrumental role in implementing significant legislative achievements like the American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the Inflation Reduction Act, Stuart has been an integral part of my team,” Biden stated in a heartfelt message. “His absence will be deeply felt throughout the administration, and I extend my sincere gratitude to Stuart and his family for their dedicated service.”
Delery, who assumed the position of White House counsel following Dana Remus’s departure in June 2022, holds the distinction of being the first openly gay individual to occupy this role. Although his departure is imminent, the White House has yet to announce his successor.
Leading the Charge
The White House Counsel’s Office, under Delery’s guidance, has played a pivotal role in President Biden’s response to Republican-led investigations into his family and the ongoing scrutiny by special counsel Robert Hur regarding alleged mishandling of classified documents. Delery was also at the forefront when the Supreme Court blocked Biden’s attempt to forgive $400 billion in federal student loan debt, subsequently prompting the formulation of a more modest plan that is currently facing legal challenges.
Furthermore, Delery played a significant part in shaping Biden’s immigration policies following the repeal of Title 42, a public health authority that facilitated the swift expulsion of immigrants during the pandemic.
Stuart Delery’s tenure as White House counsel has been marked by unwavering dedication and a commitment to upholding the rule of law. His departure will undoubtedly leave a void, but his contributions will continue to resonate within the administration.
