Season 2025
Episode 80
About the Episode
President Trump rescinded an executive order targeting a prominent law firm after it agreed to drop DEI policies and provide $40 million in pro bono work for Trump-aligned causes. It’s the latest in a series of actions Trump has taken targeting firms that either were connected to criminal cases brought against him or firms that represented Democrats. John Yang discussed more with Rachel Cohen.
