Paul Weiss lost a client days after the executive order, then Trump said it made a deal with the president.


In a recent executive order, former President Donald Trump has targeted the law firm Paul Weiss, aiming to bar it from federal government contracts due to its provision of pro bono legal services to undocumented immigrants.
