One of the US’ top law firms is scrambling to blunt an attack from the Trump administration.
Brad Karp, the chairman of
#Paul #Weiss and one of the most powerful lawyers in New York,
has been in Washington this week meeting with officials in President Donald Trump’s orbit, people familiar with the matter said,
days after the White House issued an executive order revoking the security clearance of attorneys working at the firm.
#Karp, people familiar with the matter said, is discussing a particular path back into the administration’s good graces:
helping the White House respond to "alleged" instances of antisemitism that came out of the wave of campus protests last year.
Trump this week ordered Columbia University to oust some academic leaders or risk its federal funding, his boldest broadside yet against a set of elite universities he feels have fostered antisemitic and otherwise “woke” cultures.
Trump’s executive order last week attacked Paul Weiss for pro bono work against Jan. 6 defendants,
for employing a lawyer who later worked on the Manhattan district attorney’s investigations of Trump,
and for diversity practices the White House calls “discrimination.”
The order also bars Paul Weiss employees from federal buildings and federal jobs and orders federal agencies to terminate contracts with the firm.

Full cast for Weiss. The grayscale + red accent scheme makes some things quite difficult in this format.

MFG. Does he think we haven't spent YEARS listening to the orange #felon malign, insult and instigate threats against judges, jurors, DA's and EVERY part of the legal system that tried to hold him accountable??? The total hypocrisy is mind-numbing. If the article didn't state he was complaining about Biden, would anybody in their RIGHT MIND not think it was about the orange felon? "#Weiss wrote - Calling those rulings into question and injecting partisanship into the independent administration of the law undermines the very foundation of what makes America's justice system fair and equitable. It erodes public confidence in an institution that essential to preserving the rule of law."
