Milbank has struck a deal with President Donald Trump to avoid an executive order as the law firm agreed to spend $100 million in pro bono services.
Milbank has also pledged to not engage in any “illegal DEI discrimination” and will not deny representation to clients because of political views of individual lawyers, according to the agreement posted Wednesday on Trump’s Truth Social platform.
Milbank approached the Trump administration “stating their resolve to help end the weaponization of the justice system and the legal profession,” the White House said in the statement.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours after Trump announced a similar deal with Willkie Farr & Gallagher in which that New York-founded law firm also pledged $100 million in pro bono services during the Trump administration. Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison and Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom also reached similar deals.
