Supreme Court Justice's Son Has Been Working in the Trump Administration: A Closely Guarded Secret'

Philip Alito, son of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, was reportedly employed as an attorney in the Treasury Department’s Office of the General Counsel during President Donald Trump’s second term. The role provides legal and policy advice to the Treasury Secretary, and former government officials confirmed his work there. A functional Treasury email address was reportedly obtained, while his employment details appear closely guarded, with no public resume, no LinkedIn presence, and no Treasury website listing. His hiring reportedly occurred within the first few months of the term, with an initially undefined role. The Supreme Court stated he was a DOJ detailee and said he did not work on matters related to federal tariffs.

"Philip Alito has been working as an attorney with the Treasury's office of the general counsel, which provides legal and policy advice to Secretary Scott Bessent, according to four former government officials who confirmed he worked there. NOTUS was also able to obtain a functional email address at the department for Alito. Alito's employment with the department is something of a closely guarded secret. He doesn't maintain a public resume or LinkedIn, the Treasury Department website makes no mention of him, and his three professional bar listings are outdated or incorrectly list previous employers."

"In a statement obtained by NOTUS, the Supreme Court said Philip was a DOJ detailee, and insisted that he had not worked on any matter related to the tariffs imposed by the federal government. One source described Philip as a pretty soft-spoken guy, and claimed he was reluctant to fully identify himself. For example, the source continued, Philip would simply identify himself as Phil without giving his last name."
