A fourth major American law firm, Milbank, struck a deal on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) with Donald Trump amid the president’s campaign against perceived enemies in the legal industry, while another law firm fought back in court against an executive order targeting its business.
New York-headquartered Milbank committed US$100 million ($159 million) in free legal services to mutually agreed-upon initiatives with the White House and said it would not engage in diversity-based hiring, mirroring the deals Trump has reached with other law firms that he threatened to punish for being ideologically biased and unfair to him.
