Gregory Jacob is an American lawyer who was legal counsel to U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during the administration of Donald Trump. He is currently a partner in the Washington office of the law firm, O'Melveny & Myers, specializing in ERISA matters.[1]
Upon learning of attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, Jacob worked to refute a fringe theory pushed in the Eastman memos by Trump attorney John Eastman that the vice president held unilateral authority to reject States' electors.[2]
