  • U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he is withdrawing an executive order that targeted law firm Paul Weiss, saying the firm "acknowledged the wrongdoing" of an attorney who investigated the president and has pledged $40 million in free legal work to support the administration.

Donald Trump has withdrawn a previous order that targeted the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, after the firm agreed to provide him with free legal services. This decision came after Trump had accused the firm of various misdeeds, including conflicts of interest due to their representation of clients like the New York Attorney General's office, which is involved in legal actions against him. The firm, known for its high-profile clients, had been criticized by Trump for what he perceived as their role in legal battles against him. However, following negotiations, Paul Weiss committed to offering Trump pro bono legal work, leading to the withdrawal of his earlier criticisms and orders against the firm.
