Elite US law firm bends to Trump’s demands

by Maria Ward-Brennan
CityAM, March 21, 2025

Excerpt...

Trump’s administration has targeted firms whose lawyers have provided legal work that the President disagrees with. Last week, he issued an order threatening to suspend active security clearances of attorneys at Paul, Weiss and to terminate any federal contracts the firm has.

The law firm was singled out over the work of a former member, Mark Pomerantz, who oversaw an investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office into Trump’s finances before Trump became President.

Paul, Weiss was not alone, with similar orders issued against Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie earlier this month.
