Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who was arrested for allegedly helping a migrant evade federal immigration officers, has enlisted the services of prominent conservative lawyer Paul Clement to her defense team. Clement, a former U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush, is known for his extensive experience arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court. Reports from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Bloomberg Law, and Fox News highlight the addition of Clement, described as the 'LeBron James of lawyers', to the team representing the Democratic judge. The jury pool for her case will be drawn from conservative counties outside Milwaukee. In a separate development, Citigroup has hired Robert Lighthizer, President Trump's former trade representative, to advise the bank and its clients on navigating the new administration's global trade war. Lighthizer's appointment aims to provide strategic guidance amidst ongoing trade tensions. Citigroup's move comes as it seeks to leverage Lighthizer's expertise to benefit clients dealing with the complexities of global trade. Additionally, former Trump White House lawyer Stefan Passantino has taken on a new role as a lobbyist, advising Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom and Davis Polk & Wardwell on how to navigate potential conflicts with the current administration. This move comes as these firms seek to manage their relationship with the White House. Passantino, who previously worked at Michael Best & Friedrich and was involved in the January 6 investigation, now works with Miller Strategies, led by Jeff Miller. Skadden and Davis Polk have committed to providing pro bono services to Trump Media & Technology Group, operator of Truth Social, and are assisting Crypto.com with the launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Other firms like Kirkland & Ellis and Simpson Thacher have also engaged lobbying firm Ballard Partners, led by Trump donor Brian Ballard and former Attorney General Pam Bondi, to navigate their relations with the administration.
