President Donald Trump strong-armed one of the world’s largest law firms into agreeing to do $100 million worth of work, pro bono, for his administration.
Trump announced the shakedown on Truth Social on Friday, writing that Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, the world’s fifth-largest law firm, would offer free work on issues deemed a priority by the White House.
Also on Friday, in an Oval Office briefing, Trump admitted the deal was “essentially a settlement.”
