The law firm where Doug Emhoff, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, is a partner has struck a deal with the Trump administration, as the industry’s most prominent firms scramble to avoid becoming the next target of a punitive executive order.

Willkie Farr agreed on Tuesday to provide at least $100 million in pro bono services to help veterans, ensure fairness in the justice system and combat antisemitism, according to a post by President Trump on Truth Social.
