President Trump on Tuesday announced his administration 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 & 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 confidant as well as a legal adviser during the president’s first term.

its really cool how ho hum this blatant extortion is being treated
Trump said in his Truth Social post talking about this blatantly public extortion that “The President is delivering on his promises of eradicating Partisan Lawfare in America, and restoring Liberty and Justice FOR ALL.”
You can’t make this shit up.
Why are law firms caving to these demands so fast?
Not that I’ve thought about big law before, but all of these stories have me thinking that $100m in legal services is not worth very much if they’re willing to give it away so easily.
What’s to stop them from pricing their time at 100 million per hour? Or throwing the case?
