Doug Emhoff's law firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, is reportedly among firms targeted by Trump for retaliation due to its associations with investigations of his actions. The firm includes key investigators tied to the January 6 attack and litigators involved in successful defamation lawsuits against Trump allies. Trump's previous executive orders have pressured firms to negotiate with him, and reactions to these orders have raised serious constitutional concerns from judges. As Trump continues his aggressive stance, law firms face mounting dilemmas regarding compliance and legal integrity.
Mr. Trump has issued executive orders targeting other law firms that employ people he sees as hostile to him.
The three judges who stepped in to put the orders on hold said that they were alarmed by them and concerned that they were unconstitutional.
Those who see them as capitulating to strong-arm tactics by the president have criticized the firms agreeing to deals.
Mr. Trump appears undeterred in his campaign to exact retribution from firms he views as enemies.
