(CNN) President Donald Trump is expected to name veteran Washington, DC, lawyer Pat Cipollone as the next White House counsel, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The pick could be announced as soon as the coming week, the sources said. The White House is waiting for his clearance information to be completed before announcing the choice, one of the sources said. Cipollone met with White House officials earlier this week to discuss the counsel's job, a different source familiar with the situation told CNN. But sources caution nothing is final until an announcement is made.
