Former President Barack Obama criticized prominent law firms for yielding to the Trump administration in order to protect their careers and fund their extravagant lifestyles.
During a private fundraiser in New Jersey on Friday, Obama expressed his discontent that some of the leading legal institutions in the country had “set aside the law” in reaction to President Donald Trump’s actions, as reported by Business Insider.
Obama remarked that certain lawyers were capitulating to Trump not out of fear of imprisonment, but rather due to the potential loss of a few clients and the inability to complete renovations on their homes in the Hamptons.
“I’m not impressed,” Obama stated, according to MSNBC.
Obama’s ties to Big Law trace back to his tenure at Harvard Law School, where he interned as an associate at Sidley & Austin following his first year.
Prior to embarking on his political journey, he practiced civil rights law at the Chicago-based litigation firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland, as noted by Business Insider.
