Trump Inks $100 Million Deal With Law Firm
2025-03-30
[Epoch Times] A prominent Wall Street law firm has struck a deal with the White House to provide $100 million in pro bono legal services.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP will dedicate the services to causes supported by both the firm and the Trump administration, including assisting veterans and other public servants, ensuring fairness in the U.S. justice system, and combating anti-Semitism.

The firm also committed to funding at least five law graduates under a fellowship dedicated to supporting the causes each year and employing merit-based hiring practices, vowing not to deny representation to members of politically disenfranchised groups.

A White House statement explained that Skadden had approached Trump about its "strong commitment to ending the weaponization of the justice system and the legal profession." Jeremy London, the firm’s executive partner, said the two parties worked "constructively" to reach an agreement.
Another one bites the dust.

#3  A good lawyer knows the law and a great lawyer knows Justice. The fact that Trump has to strong arm, threaten and pressure a law firm to actually meet the basic values of a legal professional is a sad reflection of the swamp.
