Several of the law firms that agreed to do pro-bono work for Donald Trump’s administration after he publicly targeted them with threats have yet to do a single thing for the president because they believe the terms of the agreements are unenforceable.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s campaign against the law firms resulted in a series of executive orders threatening their access to federal buildings, removing security clearances and putting their clients’ government contracts at ris. (sic) It caused multiple high-profile firms to cave to the president and promise to provide millions of dollars worth of pro bono legal services.
While some of them have come through, others haven’t lifted a finger since the president moved on to other perceived enemies. As the Journal reported, “Several firms that struck the unprecedented deals have shrugged them off as unenforceable and have taken on little to no additional unpaid work, according to people familiar with the matter. They are hoping Trump has moved on.”
According to their report, one way the firms are getting around complying stems from the fact that no one at the White House is compelling them to make good on their promises.
