Anti-Trump attorney George Conway began shedding tears over President Donald Trump’s so-called threats against the “rule of law” during an interview on The Bulwark podcast.

Trump issued a March 14 order against the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison (Paul Weiss), which accused the firm of engaging in activities that “limit constitutional freedoms and degrade the quality of American elections.” Two granddaughters of the late Judge Simon Rifkind, who co-founded the firm, wrote a letter to the firm’s chairman that the Trump administration assaulted the rule of the law by targeting the firm.

Conway became emotional as he discussed Trump’s alleged attack on “democracy” and the “rule of law” by taking actions against these specific law firms.

“I’m gonna get moist eye here because when I first read that letter yesterday, I got moist eyed … When I read that letter I was just, I was really, I was just moved by it because it really conveyed everything in a way that from a moral platform, these granddaughters of this amazing judge, lawyer, whatever you want to call him, um, this is what it’s about. Not that third house or that second house in the Hamptons or whatever it is that these people seem to be striving for these days,” Conway tearfully said. “And I went so far actually, um, yesterday, to send one of the granddaughters a note. I don’t know these women … I sent her an email saying ‘Bravo. Thank you.’”

“They want to feel, they want to stand up for something. People want to stand up for something. And, I wanted them to know people are listening to them, and it was good to know that people are listening to us,” an emotional Conway continued. “We’re all in this together and this is a fight for so much more than profits for partner, this is a fight for democracy, this is a fight for the rule of law. And some people just don’t give a shit and that makes me angry. But to see these granddaughter of Judge Rifkind and the eloquence of their words was really profoundly moving.”

WATCH:

The White House’s memo said that a Paul Weiss partner brought a “pro-bono” suit against those who had allegedly participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The memo further accused the firm of discriminating against its employees “on the basis of race and other categories.”

The law firm came to an agreement with the White House to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services to the administration in exchange for the withdrawal of the order.

In March, Trump issued a memo which directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to sanction law firms and attorneys “who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States” in response to judges’ orders against the administration. The DOJ launched a review of law firms that have participated in “weaponized lawfare” in response to Trump’s memo.

Judges have attempted to halt Trump’s agenda on deporting illegal immigrant criminals and eliminating wasteful government spending. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s orders to stop the deportation of Tren de Agua members be tossed, allowing the president to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent migrant criminals.

Conway, a co-founder of the Trump-hating Lincoln Project, once called on him to be removed from office during an MSNBC appearance in November 2019 while his then-wife, Kellyanne Conway, worked as a senior counselor to the president. He more recently claimed in 2023 that Trump was ineligible to become president again under the 14th Amendment, which received major pushback from CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig.
