Former firm attorney explains resigning from practice as Paul Weiss offered Trump administration pro bono to avoid targeting through executive order

Former SASM&F senior associate attorney Rachel Cohen says at a shadow hearing by Democrats about Trump Administration attack on the rule of law, weaponization of the Department of Justice, and intimidation of federal employees and corporations that she resigned amidst a series of attacks on the legal profession that began when the Trump Administration stripped law firm Covington and Burling of government contracts for representing Special Counsel Jack Smith, followed by executive orders against other firms like Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss based on past representation of clients the president disliked.
