In early 2009 President Obama hired Bauer as legal counsel to represent him in a criminal probe investigating allegations that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich may have sought -- with Obama's (or Rahm Emanuel's) knowledge -- to sell to the highest bidder the U.S. Senate seat Obama had vacated when he assumed the presidency.Perfect hire as White House Counsel, husband of Anita Dunn.
Bauer also has worked on issues related to Obama's ties to Tony Rezko, a corrupt, Chicago-based real-estate developer who was one of the first major financial contributors to Obama's political campaigns in the 1990s. By 2005, Rezko was facing at least 12 lawsuits and was under federal investigation on charges that he had solicited kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business under his friend, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
In November 2009 President Obama named Bauer to be his White House Counsel, replacing Gregory Craig, who resigned abruptly on November 13 (after having repeatedly denied, for weeks, that he had any plans of stepping down).
In addition to his work with Perkins Coie, Bauer is also general counsel to the Democratic National Committee.
