Attorney General William Barr has named Will Levi as his new chief of staff, according to two Justice Department officials familiar with the matter.

Levi has spent the last two years as one of Barr’s seven counselors, helping the attorney general navigate several hot-button issues at the center of President Donald Trump’s campaign against the “deep state.” He assisted Barr on efforts to revise the government’s domestic spying powers, and also has worked on other national security, criminal and civil matters at DOJ.

The article goes on to state the following:

As chief of staff, Levi will work closely with Barr and other senior DOJ officials to manage the department’s day-to-day affairs. He will also regularly interact with the White House counsel’s office. Levi, who started his new role on Monday, replaces Brian Rabbitt, who is taking a senior role in the DOJ’s criminal division. The move had been in the works for some time, as Rabbitt had wanted to move back into issues he had worked on previously in the government and private sector.

Politico reported that Levi is a “third-generation DOJ official.” His father served as a U.S. attorney in California during the Reagan administration, and also briefly worked with Barr when he was in the DOJ the first time. Levi’s grandfather served as attorney general under President Gerald Ford.
