Kamala Harris's Husband's Law Firm Pledges $100M to Work for President Trump

Willkie Farr & Gallagher, where Doug Emhoff is a partner, has agreed to provide at least $100 million in pro bono legal services to President Donald Trump during his second term, Trump announced on April 1, 2025, via Truth Social. The firm, which approached the Trump administration to negotiate the deal, will support causes like aiding veterans, law enforcement, and combating antisemitism, while also pledging merit-based hiring and non-discrimination based on politics.

Emhoff, husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly opposed the decision, highlighting a rift within the firm. The move has sparked debate, with some seeing it as a strategic alignment with Trump’s agenda, while others question its implications given Emhoff’s Democratic ties. As of April 4, 2025, the $100 million commitment marks a significant early pledge to Trump’s second term, set to begin in January 2025.
