The New York Times reports:

The law firm that employs Doug Emhoff, former Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, has learned that it is among the next firms that Mr. Trump plans to use his power to punish. The firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, also employs a top investigator for the congressional committee that documented Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, and a litigator who spearheaded a lawsuit that two Georgia election workers brought against Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Two other firms hit with executive orders have agreed to deals with Mr. Trump in exchange for him rescinding or heading off the orders, drawing criticism from those who see them as capitulating to strong-arm tactics by the president.
