According to Yahoo News, lawyers at four major law firms rejected the White House’s advances when approached about representing the President in the Russia inquiries being done by four Congressional committees as well as special counsel Robert Mueller.
Some of the lawyers cited upcoming trials that were taking up their time or potential conflicts of interest, but a “consistent theme was the concern about whether the president would accept the advice of his lawyers and refrain from public statements and tweets that have consistently undercut his position.” Here’s more:
“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, the lawyer said, there were concerns that if they took on the case, “Who’s in charge?” and “Would he listen?”

Sauces...
I guess attorney-client confidentiality means nothing. I hope all of these firms will enjoy being reported to the bar.

Fake news. No "top firm" would ever discuss why they did or did not take on a client. You anti-trumpets are really scraping the bottom of the bucket nowadays.

What law firms? Who were the lawyers they talked to?
Unless I get that info, this is completely made up.

It applies to such solicitations, even if a formal attorney-client relationship is never effected.

Friends gave Clintons $10 million to pay debts --- and they still stiffed lawyers for years
When Bill and Hillary Clinton left the White House, donors had covered all but $3.9 million of their still growing scandal legal bill -- easily covered by her 2000 $4 million book advance -- but they didn't pay off their lawyers for years.
Using two legal defense funds that raised about $10 million while Clinton was president, the former first couple got donors including author Stephen King, actor Robert DeNiro, singer Tony Bennett and Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson to give up to $10,000 each.
Even taxpayers eventually coughed up $85,000 for lawyers handling a long list of scandals including Whitewater, impeachment and the Monica Lewinsky sex affair. Clinton had asked the government to cover $3.5 million, but a court cut it to $85,000.
But according to Hillary Clinton's Senate financial disclosure forms, the couple's legal bill wasn't fully paid until sometime in 2004 or 2005, when the same documents revealed a joint bank account worth between $5 million and $25 million and a blind trust valued at $5 million to $25 million. And that form didn't include Bill Clinton's massive speaking fees and earnings from his own multi-million dollar book.
