In epic letter, investment fund fires law firm for enabling the Trump kleptocracy

“America deserves a President of undivided loyalty.
Your firm has denied them that.”

The Wallace Global Fund is sick of pretending.

In a scathing letter, the investment fund fired its elite law firm, Morgan Lewis, for its role in enabling Donald Trump to use the presidency to line his pockets.

In January, Morgan Lewis partner Sheri Dillon publicly signed off on Trump’s plan to maintain ownership of his business empire while president. Instead, Dillon established a variety of measures that fell “well short of the steps recommended by the Office of Government Ethics.”

Trump, meanwhile, is not even hiding his efforts to use the prestige of the presidency for profit. He has spent the last nine consecutive weekends at Trump-branded properties.
