Trump Rescinds Executive Order After Law Firm Pledges $40M in Free Services

What Happened: Trump revoked an executive order targeting Paul, Weiss, a Democratic-leaning law firm, after it agreed to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services supporting his regime. The order initially threatened to suspend security clearances for the firm’s attorneys and terminate federal contracts.

Why It Matters: This is extortion, plain and simple. Trump is forcing corporations to bend to his agenda, using federal power to coerce law firms, tech giants, and media companies into eliminating DEI programs and making politically motivated concessions. Meta, ABC, and others have already paid settlements or rolled back DEI policies to stay in Trump’s good graces.
