President Trump on Friday proudly announced he had strong-armed another major law firm into giving $100 million in pro-bono legal services towards "combatting antisemitism" and other causes.

From Politico, "Major law firm strikes preemptive deal with White House":

The White House has reached a deal with one of the largest law firms in the world to provide the equivalent of $100 million in free legal work to causes supported by the administration, President Donald Trump announced Friday afternoon.

The law firm, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, will also fund fellowships for law school graduates to work on causes in line with the administration’s priorities. The fellows “will represent a wide range of political views, including conservative ideals,” the president said in a statement.

The priority, of course, is "combatting antisemitism" (what else?)!

Trump last week boasted about strong-arming Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP into giving "$40 million in pro bono legal services" to his "Presidential Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism" and "other mutually agreed projects."
