President Trump on Tuesday announced his administration had a struck a deal with a law firm with ties to former second gentleman Doug Emhoff and the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol as Trump targets major firms for retribution.
The agreement with Willkie Farr and Gallagher states that the firm will provide the equivalent of $100 million in pro bono legal services for causes the administration supports. It is the third such arrangement the White House has reached with a major law firm.
The firm also represented two Georgia election workers who sued Rudy Giuliani for defamation. Giuliani once served as a close Trump confident as well as a legal adviser during the president’s first term.
