Former President Donald Trump has announced a deal with Willkie Farr & Gallagher, the law firm where Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, is a partner. The firm has pledged at least $100 million in pro bono legal work for causes aligned with conservative ideals. The move has sparked backlash, with activists calling for Emhoff to resign due to the perceived conflict of interest. The deal reportedly helped the firm avoid a potential executive order from Trump. The situation has raised ethical and political concerns given the firm's ties to both the Biden administration and Trump-aligned causes.
