Alan Garten

Garten is an executive vice president and chief legal officer at the Trump Organization. He gained notoriety for dangling legal threats in defense of Trump during the campaign. Speaking to The New York Times in 2016, Garten described how loyalty is valued at Trump's company.

"At the end of the day, I work for the Trump family," he said. "That's how I view my job. Whether it's protecting their business interests or protecting their personal interests. I am here to assist them and represent them in any way they need."

"To succeed in this company," he later added, "you have to be skilled, highly dedicated and highly loyal."
