She Called Out Her Own Law Firm for Caving to Trump--and Walked Away
By Ben Meiselas
In her latest report, Katie interviews Rachel Cohen, a former associate at Skadden Arps who did something far too rare in the legal world: she stood up to Trump. Rachel saw the Trump administration’s brazen attempts to coerce Big Law into submission and she took a stand before others found the courage to follow.
Rachel not only organized an open letter now signed by nearly 2,000 legal professionals, but she also tendered a firmwide resignation demanding that Skadden stop capitulating to authoritarianism. These are billion-dollar law firms offering free legal services to Trump in backroom deals—services that could be used to target protestors, protect killer cops, and erase civil rights under the guise of executive authority.
Thanks to Rachel’s courage and Katie’s fearless reporting, millions more Americans will now see what’s happening in real time. This is a time for moral clarity—and it’s up to us to get these messages out. So watch Katie’s interview with Rachel below, subscribe to her YouTube channel, and let’s continue to show the world the power of independent media.
