"George M. Cohen, Brokaw Professor of Corporate Law at the University of Virginia School of Law. Susan P. Koniak, Professor of Law, Emerita, Boston University School of Law. Jonah E. Perlin, Associate Professor of Law, Legal Practice and Senior Fellow of the Center on Ethics and the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center. Nancy B. Rapoport, UNLV Distinguished Professor & Garman Turner Gordon Professor of Law at William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas."
"But first, I wanted to point to this story, confirming something I had begun to suspect based on who was getting scoops about upcoming agreements with law firms: That Boris Ephsteyn is at the heart of negotiating Trump's kickback schemes with law firms. The story has a rather curious emphasis (but not a surprising one from Trump whisperer Josh Dawsey)."
Six ethics law professors filed an amicus brief supporting Perkins Coie. The signatories are George M. Cohen; Susan P. Koniak; Jonah E. Perlin; Nancy B. Rapoport; Mitt Regan; and W. Bradley Wendel. Sources indicate Boris Epshteyn played a central role negotiating agreements between Trump and law firms, described as kickback schemes. Coverage emphasized Epshteyn's indictment in the Arizona case on charges related to the 2020 election while omitting mention that the indictment included fraud allegations. The coverage also repeated claims that some law firms hesitated to negotiate with someone not in government.
