Big Law Braces for Second Fight with Trump

“Law firms that struck deals with Donald Trump are heading for a second high-stakes conflict with the U.S. president after the government demanded their leaders sit for depositions and hand over internal communications about the deals,” the Financial Times reports.

“In a move that one administration insider said was designed to show a ‘middle finger’ to the legal industry, the Department of Justice has issued subpoenas and deposition demands to the law firms it targeted or threatened with executive orders at the start of Trump’s second term.”
