  • A policy and law scholar told Fortune that Trump believes his threats have pushed a prominent law firm to back down and called it an abuse of presidential power that threatens the constitutional rights of all Americans.

Former President Donald Trump announced the revocation of an executive order that would have barred the law firm Perkins Coie from receiving federal government contracts. This decision came after Trump claimed that the firm committed to providing $40 million in pro bono legal services to support causes aligned with his administration. The initial executive order was issued in response to allegations that Perkins Coie had misused federal funds by engaging in activities deemed as "woke" by Trump, including representing clients in lawsuits against his administration. The firm, known for its Democratic affiliations, had been criticized by Trump for its political activities. The reversal of the order was seen as a strategic move to leverage the firm's legal resources for Trump's political and legal battles.
