That is - WHO got served? It's not like some GA sheriff walked up to the door of the White House and served the President.
I'm guessing that it HAD to be some member of a legal team - and THAT person (or persons) could be in a lot of trouble.
If it was legally served to the President's representative then THEY are on the hook. Any first year law student would probably say that the legal team was responsible for notifying the President and consulting him.
It may very well be that they didn't take it as serious as it should have been. If so, there would be more charges coming out of this.

Your question seems retorical to me, or at least a very hard one to find an answer for. If I'm wrong and/or if Richie doesn't give you an answer, please do provide us with the answer for him.
As for the president's representative, they could be on the hook as you indicated. But where does the buck stop? Is the President not the chief executive, responsible for everything that happens in the White House adminiatration just as the president of most any corporation or any past president of the US? If not then we're in more trouble in this country than any of us previously thought!
