President Trump signed orders targeting law firms that had connections to investigations or legal cases related to Trump or his allies. A senior partner at one firm told 60 Minutes the orders were “diabolical” and “intended to bankrupt [us].” It took only days before some of America’s most powerful and wealthiest law firms buckled. In a shock to the legal community, nine major law firms went to the White House to make a deal. The firms did not admit wrongdoing but altogether, they agreed to give nearly $1 billion in legal services to causes that the firms and Trump support. “The law firms all want to make deals,” says President Trump. “They're not babies. They're very sophisticated people. Those law firms did bad things, bad things.” #60minutes #trump #lawyer #executiveorder #whitehouse
