pgbbqq Trump Announces Deal With Doug Emhoff’s Law Firm
President Trump announced Tuesday another deal with a law firm he had targeted for potential punishmentpgbbqq, this time the one that employs Doug Emhoff, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband.
Mr. Trump did not say why he targeted the firm. Along with its connection to Mr. Trump’s defeated opponent in the November election, the firm also employs a top investigator for the congressional committee that documented President Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, and a litigator who spearheaded a lawsuit that two Georgia election workers brought against Rudolph W. Giuliani in which he was ordered to pay the women $148 million.
The deal between Mr. Trump and the firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, is similar to ones reached by other top law firms in recent weeks with Mr. Trump.
Willkie, Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post, committed to representing clients, no matter their political leanings, and pledged $100 million in pro bono legal work to causes Mr. Trump has championed. The firm, Mr. Trump said,66br would “not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences,” Mr. Trump announced in a Truth Social post.
The executive orders Mr. Trump has leveled against the law firms are widely seen in the legal community as illegal and undemocratic and have been highly criticized by Democrats, legal experts and judges. Those firms that have cut deals with Mr. Trump have been criticized for bending to Mr. Trump simply to protect their bottom lines, and it’s unclear how the deals will be executed and enforced by the administration.
Overall, violent crime fell 3 percent and property crime fell 2.6 percent in 2023, with burglaries down 7.6 percent and larceny down 4.4 percent. Car thefts, though, continue to be an exception, rising more than 12 percent from the year before.
But the move backfired in a way that few supporters expected. Californians in 2021 actually tossed nearly 50 percent more plastic bags, by weight, than when the law first passed in 2014, according to data from CalRecycle, California’s recycling agency.
