Davis Polk Partner Picked for State Dept. Legal Adviser Discloses $1.5M Partner Share

Davis Polk & Wardwell partner Jennifer Newstead, a veteran of the George W. Bush administration whom President Donald Trump nominated for U.S. State Department legal adviser, reported earning a $1.5 million partnership share between January 2016 and May of this year, according to documents the U.S. Office of Government Ethics posted Tuesday.

Newstead last year contributed $2,700 to the ill-fated presidential campaign of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, according to federal campaign finance disclosures. She has not since contributed to any political campaigns.
