Harvard is a threat to Democracy, with a lawyer, who represents me, who should therefore be forced to resign, immediately, or be fired. He\u2019s not that good, anyway. I hope that my very big and beautiful company, now run by my sons, gets rid of him ASAP.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 An excerpt from Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> latest rant on Truth Social, where he goes after Quinn Emanuel\u2019s global co-managing partner William Burck<\/a>. Burck is currently representing Harvard University<\/a> in its litigation against the Trump administration over its multibillion-dollar research funding freeze. He also serves as outside ethics adviser for the Trump Organization. As noted by Bloomberg Law<\/a>, when Burck was hired for the role in January, Eric Trump praised him as \u201cone of the nation\u2019s finest and most respected lawyers.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Hours later, the younger Trump confirmed his father\u2019s thoughts, saying of Burck in a comment given to CNN<\/a>, \u201cI view it as a conflict and I will be moving in a different direction.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
