Trump-Targeted Law Firm Caves, Vows $40M in Legal Support to Right-Wing Causes
“This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession,” the founder of Democracy Docket said.
President Donald Trump withdrew an executive order targeting a major Democratic-leaning law firm after the firm agreed to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services in support of his administration’s far right initiatives.
“This is unbelievably shameful from Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP,” Molly Coleman, executive director at People’s Parity Project, said on LinkedIn. “I’m embarrassed to have any association with this firm that failed to find the courage the moment requires.”
