Sullivan and Cromwell faces internal revolt over representing Trump in sexual abuse appeals

What was said

"The chair of Sullivan and Cromwell told the partners who were very uneasy about this firm leaning in and representing Donald Trump in all these cases, 'Don't worry, we're going to represent him on these cases, more of the businessy cases. We're a business firm, but we will not represent him on any appeals regarding sexual abuse and sexual assault civil cases, any of his other kind of frivolous litigations that he files.' Well, then they leaned in on these cases and now all these other partners are like, 'What the heck? We know you're sullying the name of Sullivan and Cromwell and the reputation of why we even are at this firm' and so now there's talk is there going to be a mass exodus out of Sullivan right now cuz people are absolutely pissed that they're now associated with cases like this."

Major law firm Sullivan and Cromwell is experiencing internal turmoil after its leadership broke a promise to partners not to represent Donald Trump in sexual abuse appeal cases. Partners are now considering a mass exodus from the prestigious firm, concerned that representing Trump in his attempts to delay paying E. Jean Carroll undermines the firm's reputation. The controversy highlights how Trump's legal strategies are causing rifts even within elite institutions agreeing to represent him.
