Future Biglaw Firm Actually Went To Bat Against A Power-Hungry Federal Government https://t.co/Nnurok9gYy
Trump is undermining our democracy piece by piece. He threatened the multi-billion dollar “Democratic” law firm Paul, Weiss with an illegal executive order. They caved and gave Trump $40 million. They care more about their bottom line than our democracy. We won’t forget.
The American president has reportedly compelled the New York law firm Paul, Weiss to provide $40 million in legal services amid accusations of intimidation. This development follows claims that the firm, known for its history of standing up to governmental pressure, has been accused of capitulating to the administration's demands. The firm has a long-standing reputation for representing federal workers and has previously resisted government intimidation, raising questions about its future role in legal battles against the federal government. Critics, including Senator Bernie Sanders, have condemned the firm’s decision to comply, suggesting it prioritizes financial gain over democratic principles.
