“All I knew was this was bad for business,” Victor Schwartz told us.
Schwartz said he was always willing to join. But initially, he had concerns when asked to be the lead plaintiff, knowing a prominent clash with the Trump administration lay ahead. Family, friends and attorneys Schwartz knew pushed him forward.
“They all said I should do it anyway, because it was just too important,” Schwartz said.
“In my heart of hearts, I realized I had to do it,” he continued. “I kind of felt it was a moral imperative. Somehow it landed on my doorstep. I could not walk away from it.”
