Sixteen Democratic lawmakers have raised concerns regarding nine law firms that entered agreements with former President Donald Trump, questioning the legality of these deals. Led by U.S. Reps. Dave Min and April McClain Delaney, the lawmakers have requested these firms to disavow their deals and have cited potential violations of bribery and anti-fraud laws. The agreements are said to allow firms to sidestep executive orders regarding lawyers' security clearances, raising ethical concerns about conflicts of interest and the integrity of future legal representation.
Agreements of this kind signal acquiescence to an abuse of federal power, raising serious questions about how or whether your firm would represent clients or take on matters that might be seen as antagonistic to President Trump or his agenda.
Their agreements allowed them to avoid executive orders that, among other things, call for the suspension of lawyers' security clearances and imperil their clients' government contracts.
