This weekend, we learned that Joseph diGenova and his wife, Victoria Toensing, were conflicted out of representing Donald Trump in the ongoing investigation into his campaign and Russian interference. This inspired Trump to tweet out:

Many lawyers and top law firms want to represent me in the Russia case…don’t believe the Fake News narrative that it is hard to find a lawyer who wants to take this on. Fame & fortune will NEVER be turned down by a lawyer, though some are conflicted. Problem is that a new…… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2018

….lawyer or law firm will take months to get up to speed (if for no other reason than they can bill more), which is unfair to our great country – and I am very happy with my existing team. Besides, there was NO COLLUSION with Russia, except by Crooked Hillary and the Dems! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 25, 2018

Hmm… that doesn’t seem true to me. It’s not as demonstrably false as some of the president’s other tweets. But by the same token, Trump can’t really prove that there are a bunch of respected lawyers and law firms out there dying to work for him.

What we do know is that many lawyers who Trump has reached out to have told him no. They’ve decided that representing the President of the United States — which is usually a sought-after, high-profile engagement — is something their résumé can do without.

Here’s a running list of law firms and attorneys who have decided they don’t want to represent the president. Please send a note to tips@abovethelaw.com if there are firms that we’re missing or attorneys who have been approached that we just don’t know about. Here’s who we do know about:

Brendan Sullivan, Williams & Connolly: Sullivan represented Oliver North after the Iran-Contra scandal, but won’t represent Donald Trump.

Paul Clement, Kirkland & Ellis: Clement defended DOMA — the Defense of Marriage Act — and was a leading litigator in the constitutional challenges to Obamacare. But he won’t represent the leader of the Republican party.

Mark Filip, Kirkland & Ellis: Filip is a big-time white-collar defense lawyer who served as Deputy Attorney General in the George W. Bush administration. He was unwilling to return to government work to help defend the current president.

Robert Giuffra, Sullivan & Cromwell: Guiffra represents Volkswagon in its litigation about using devices to thwart clean-air standards, and defended UBS from disaffected Enron shareholders. Defending Trump’s financial dealings from Robert Mueller was apparently not something he wanted to do.

Emmet Flood, Williams & Connolly: Emmet Flood represented Bill Clinton in his impeachment hearing. Of course, Clinton was impeached (just not convicted), and we know that Trump prefers soldiers who never captured.

Robert S. Bennett, Hogan Lovells: Bennett represented Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones dispute. Seems relevant.

Theodore Olson, Gibson Dunn: Ted Olson represented George W. Bush in the Bush v. Gore case where the Supreme Court chose the American president. And he wants no part of Trump.

Again, these are just the people we know Trump has reached out to, based on published reports in the press. Who knows how many lawyers have been quietly asked, either directly or through networks, if they’d be interested.

While it’s, frankly, hilarious to look at all the well-respected attorneys who don’t want to get Donald Trump all over them, there is potentially a deeper issue. If all the good attorneys — the ones with reputations to preserve and ethics to uphold — refuse to represent the president, what’s left are the “bad” attorneys. The ones who don’t have the slightest idea what a moral and ethical principle is.
