Elijah Cummings of the House Oversight Committee sent letters to President Trump's tax attorney from Morgan Lewis and the Trump Organization's outside counsel from Michael Best requesting their appearance for a “transcribed interview.” [National Law Journal] * After widespread rebuke, the Florida Bar has officially opened an ethics investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz's alleged witness tampering of Michael Cohen via tweet prior to his testimony before the House Oversight Committee. [Daily Business Review] * Milbank's profits exceeded the $1 billion mark in 2018, which the firm is absolutely thrilled about. The firm less thrilled about its all-male partner class, and unlike in prior years, they haven't been listed in a press release.

[ABA Journal] * "For decades a lot of young lawyers have missed opportunities to build families and this technology puts that ability back into their hands." Bill now, procreate later?
