Daughter of ex-Trump acting USAG moves to Senate

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 15, 2023

Sen. Joni Ernst's (R-Iowa) newest hire is the daughter of former Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who directly oversaw the Mueller investigation.

In her first Hill job, Alison Whitaker joined the senator's office as legislative correspondent. She's a recent graduate of the University of Iowa and a former Ernst intern.

Her father, Matthew, spent three months as President Donald Trump's acting U.S. attorney general. He assumed suvervision of the Mueller investigation until William Barr, whose own daughter Meg McGaughey works for the Senate Judiciary Committee, was confirmed as U.S. attorney general in February 2019. He's also a former political rival to his daughter's new boss, losing a primary challenge for Ernst's Senate seat in 2014.

Subjects: Margaret Barr McGaughey (Meg); William Pelham Barr (Bill); Matthew George Whitaker (Matt); University of Iowa (Iowa City); Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA); Alison D. Whitaker
