60 Minutes Condemns Trump’s Attacks on Law Firms
A recent 60 Minutes exposé detailed Donald Trump’s campaign of retribution against major law firms. Trump’s executive orders, aimed at firms representing his opponents, have been described as an assault on the legal profession, with some firms facing financial repercussions and others pressured into pro bono work for the administration. A federal judge deemed one such order unconstitutional, while lawyers involved have likened Trump’s actions to mob tactics and bribery. The segment also revealed that Paramount, 60 Minutes’ parent company, faced pressure to temper criticism of Trump, leading to the departure of the show’s longtime chief.
