A major D.C. law firm has bent the knee to Donald Trump in shocking fashion ... essentially becoming a tool of the President.

Part of Trump's rage was directed at Mark Pomerantz, a former partner at the firm who once was involved in a criminal investigation against Trump while he worked for the Manhattan D.A.
