General Discussion

Trump is not claiming, as you have repeatedly asserted, that they are giving HIM pro bono services. He is not even claiming they are going to do more/new pro bono services than they are already doing.

Every year the provide about five times the legal services mentioned in the statement - $200 million. According to their pro bono blurb on their website - serving veterans is already one of the significant focuses for pro bono work. So, as I said. They aren't giving him ANYTHING that they aren't already doing.

So, no. I'm not going to argue with Trump about it. You are the one mischaracterizing what he said. He made no claim they are proving free legal services TO HIM.

The other portion you highlighted is what I mentioned in my very first response as a disgusting capitulation, if true. Weiss has not expressly denied it - but it is not included in their statement of the deal. That is what needs to be verified, and one of two things being headlined.

Not the "shocker" that a law firm that already does $200 million in pro bono work, including for veterans and anti-hate work, agreed to do at least $40 million in the next year, including for veterans and work against anti-semitism.

And nowhere did I say the firm stood up to Trump. They didn't. But focusing on an agreement to continue doing exactly what they are already doing, as if that was their capitulation is misguided.
