Cobb joins the White House to manage matters relating to ongoing investigations into Russian election disruptions, beginning July 31, 2017. Cobb is part of the White House internal legal team and reported directly to President Trump.
Cobb said that he accepted the White House duties because "it is an impossible task with a deadline." He further explained that he has "a stone on his head and a steel ball." Cobb was recommended to Trump by John Dowd, who was a member of his personal legal team.
Cobb says that there is no reason to believe that Trump is personally being investigated, and that "They are in full co-operation mode and they have been directed to cooperate fully and resolve this as soon as possible."
On May 2, 2018, Cobb announced that he retired as a special White House adviser at the end of the month.
