I heard that the first time. I suppose it's a slow news day when we bother arguing about something like this. When a law firm announces they were asked by Trump to represent him and they refused, I will laugh. Until then I'm suspicious. This is too much like the "we won't dress Melania" and "we won't come to the WH" and "we won't come to the inaugural parade." Mean spirited and in this case, as likely to be made up as real. IMO.Morality almost certainly has nothing to do with it. It's all about risk management and revenue. In professional services firms, there are certain risks that aren't worth the revenue the may yield.It's hard to imagine 130 lawyers refusing a crack at Trump's checkbook. They're not the most morals-bound types, as a rule.More FAKE news bullshit. You don't go Lawyer shopping when you have a GREAT lawyer you have used for DECADES and has done a great job for you. As usual more "anonymous" sources...YAWN.Oh dear. Trump's reputation as a deadbeat has caught up with him.
Four top law firms turned down requests to represent Trump

“The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’” said one lawyer close to the White House who is familiar with some of the discussions between the firms and the administration, as well as deliberations within the firms themselves.

In addition, law firms are concerned about losing other clients and losing employees if they sign on with Trump. Trump's stench of failure is pervasive. It's the reason why so many government positions are unfilled -- nobody wants "Worked with the Trump admin" on their resume.
