“It should also identify specific points of contact for each element of the government outside of the White House. These contacts should include the White House Liaisons who are selected by the Office of Presidential Personnel (PPO).”

What has happened

  1. Not started

    No published designation of White House Liaisons or of agency points of contact. White House Liaisons are agency posts, so the Annual Report to Congress on White House Office Personnel cannot show them, and it carries no such title in either the 2025 or the 2026 report; no government-wide list exists on an allowlisted source. What the report does show is that the office the Quote names is staffed: Daniel J. Scavino, Jr. as Assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of the Office of Presidential Personnel, with a deputy director and six special assistants. Searched whitehouse.gov presidential actions and the Federal Register for "White House Liaison" since 2025-01-20; nothing.

What was searched, and what didn’t count as evidence

Research notes

Researched 2026-08-27, in one search that covered all of Chapter 1’s White House staffing asks.

  • Two objects: White House Liaisons selected by the Office of Presidential Personnel, and points of contact for each element of government outside the White House.
  • The White House Office personnel report cannot answer either. White House Liaisons sit in the departments and agencies, not in the White House Office, and the 2026 report contains no “White House Liaison” title. The only “liaison” titles in it are legislative-affairs liaisons to the House and Senate and a Director of Agency Liaison for Presidential Correspondence — neither is what the Quote names.
  • The report does show a staffed Office of Presidential Personnel (Daniel J. Scavino, Jr. as Assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of PPO, with a deputy director and six special assistants), so the office that would make the designations exists.
  • Negative search: White House presidential actions and the Federal Register for “White House Liaison” and “point of contact” since 2025-01-20 — nothing. No government-wide list of agency White House Liaisons is published on an allowlisted domain.
