“President Trump on Thursday rescinded an executive order targeting Paul Weiss, as one of the nation’s top law firms bent to White House pressure and agreed to a series of concessions to avoid a client exodus,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The agreement between Paul Weiss and the White House includes a commitment by the firm to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services to support the administration’s initiatives, such as assisting veterans and fighting antisemitism.”
“Trump agreed to lift the order after meeting with the firm’s chair, Brad Karp, who worked behind the scenes to mitigate the fallout for Paul Weiss following the president’s sanctions against the firm last Friday.”
