Interestingly, Sage Steele, Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Chris Cuomo, and various other notable cable news anchors who were terminated have all been represented by Freedman in the past.

Additionally, according to his firm's website, Freedman has provided legal representation for high-profile celebrities in court, including Vin Diesel, Gabrielle Union, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Downey Jr, and Mariah Carey.

Following criticism of McDaniel's hire from many prominent figures at the network, including MSNBC presenters Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski, as well as former 'Meet the Press' anchor Chuck Todd, NBCUniversal chairman Cesar Conde dismissed McDaniel's paid contributorship offer on Tuesday, March 26.

Moreover, after the announcement of her employment, McDaniel made an appearance on 'Meet the Press' on Sunday, March 24.

In an interview with moderator Kristen Welker, she stated that President Biden won the 2020 election "fair and square."

Moreover, Donald Trump ridiculed McDaniel for being dismissed by NBC shortly after being hired as a political commentator.

The former President posted on Truth Social, "Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear. It leaves her in a very strange place, it’s called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it’s not a place you want to be." [sic]

He further added, "These Radical Left Lunatics are CRAZY, and the top people at NBC ARE WEAK. They were BROKEN and EMBARRASSED by LOW RATINGS, HIGHLY OVERPAID, 'TALENT.' BRING BACK FREE AND FAIR PRESS - MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024!" [sic]
