According to the DNC's FEC filings, the committee has disbursed nearly $2 million since August 2021 to Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP for "legal services." The founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, Roberta A. Kaplan, represented E. Jean Carroll in her sexual assault and defamation lawsuits against Trump. The New York Times previously reported that Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn, assisted in financing Carroll's lawsuits.
Interestingly, the DNC did not remunerate the firm for any services from its inception in 2017 until August of 2021. Carroll launched her first lawsuit against Trump in 2019.
The law firm asserts that its foundation was to "build a law firm for the future rooted in principles of equity, integrity, and justice." Joshua Matz, a partner at the firm, served as counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the first Trump impeachment trial. He was invited back to serve on the second impeachment trial, as stated on the firm's website. The firm also boasts of "representing former U.S. District Court Judge John Gleeson as a court-appointed amicus in United States of America v. Michael T. Flynn."

ABC News previously reported that the firm has "represented the DNC for a long time." This law firm has filed numerous Amicus briefs in the United States v. Donald Trump case, which pertains to Trump's potential criminal liability for actions related to the 2020 election and Jan. 6, and is currently under consideration by the Supreme Court.
