’60 Minutes’ is broadcast a destructive segment about Trump aimed at law firms

Pelley the segment opened By honestly admitting: “It was almost impossible to get someone on the camera for this story because of the fear that is now due to our right of justice.

“In recent weeks, President Trump has signed orders against various law firms – orders with the power to destroy them. That is important because lawsuits have been a control of the power of the president.”

However, he was able to get a comment from Marc Elias, a former Perkins Cole partner and old rival of Trump, who compared the performing orders of the president to a Mafia boss that intimidates people in a neighborhood.

“The fact is that these law firms are told:” If you don’t play a ball with us, something may happen to you very badly, “said Elias.

Elias has previously challenged Trump in 2020, when he defeated the efforts of the 78-year-old businessman to dispute the election results in court.

He called Trump the ongoing embodiment of everything that is wrong with the American political system.

“And so when Donald Trump says that I am unethical or that I undermine his vision of America, I say,” Boy, I have to do something good, “said Elias.
