Eisenberg served as the deputy counsel to the Trump White House, as well as legal advisor to the National Security Council during Trump's tenure.
He was among four White House officials who failed to show up to testify during the first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, after reports suggested Eisenberg listened to complaints related to the president's call to Ukraine.
Eisenberg served as a clerk for Thomas from 2003 to 2004.
Severino is a conservative political activist and president of conservative advocacy organization Judicial Crisis Network, where she led campaigns supporting Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh's nominations to the Supreme Court.
The political activist also clerked for Thomas from 2007 to 2008.
Judge Carl Nichols clerked for Thomas in 1997 and 1998. He was later appointed to the federal bench in Washington, DC, by Trump in 2018.
Nichols has repeatedly ruled against Trump and his allies since being confirmed.
In July 2019, Nichols dismissed a lawsuit filed by Trump against New York state officials to prevent the state from turning over his state tax returns to House Democrats, though they had not even asked New York for financial records.
Nichols said at the time that the case put him in a "very awkward position," though he ultimately ruled to dismiss the suit, saying federal trial court wasn't the place to decide a case involving New York officials.
Two years later, in 2021, the federal judge also denied motions from Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Lindell to dismiss Dominion's lawsuits against them, allowing all defamation lawsuits from the voting systems company to proceed. He's also proceeding over Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress trial that starts on Monday, July 18.
