Emhoff hits law firm over Trump deal: Report

Former second gentleman Doug Emhoff reportedly criticized his law firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, for striking a deal with the administration to avoid potential blowback from President Trump as the White House has targeted other large legal firms in recent weeks. 

Emhoff, who joined Willkie Farr & Gallagher as a partner in late January this year, condemned the law firm while speaking at a Bet Tzedek’s 2025 Annual Dinner Gala on Thursday night, CNN reported Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
