One Elite Lawyer Refuses To Back Down From A Fight With Trump

President Trump is attempting to dismantle the constitution and attack the rule of law in his obsessive pursuit of retribution against his political opponents. Today’s White House Memo targets not only me and my law firm, but every attorney and law firm who dares to challenge his assault on the rule of law.
President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his Administration in court.

— Elias Law Group Chair Marc Elias’s public statement after being called out in a recent Executive Order by Donald Trump. He continued, “Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf. Our democracy is in peril, and the decisions made by lawyers and their firms may very well determine the future of the rule of law in the United States.”
