President Donald Trump has withdrawn an order with a DC lawyer office to work with the government after it agreed to give $ 40 million to the causes he supports and promised to revise recruitment practices.
Trump went after the company during the past work by former partner Mark Pomerantz, who supervised an investigation by the office of the public prosecutor in Manhattan in Trump's finances before he became president.
The executive order of the president threatened to suspend the active security statement of lawyers at the company and to end all federal contracts about the work of Pomerantz in the case against the president.
It threatened to ban the company to work with the federal government, a huge source of cash for many DC companies.
It was the last in a series of similar actions that are aimed at law firms whose lawyers have done legal work that Trump does not agree with.
The agreement to dissolve the order happened during a meeting between Trump and Brad Karp, the chairman of the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Garrison & Wharton, about the White House Order that was published last week.
The White House said that Paul, Weiss had agreed to 'take on a wide range of Pro Bono cases that represent the entire spectrum of political views of our society', to get rid of the use of considerations of diversity, fairness and inclusion in the decisions of the recruitment and promotion.

The company also agreed to dedicate the equivalent of $ 40 million to free legal services to support Trump Administration's policy on issues such as help for veterans and combating anti -Semitism.
In addition, the company acknowledged 'misconduct' by Pomerantz, stating 'the serious danger of armament and the essential need to restore our justice system.'
Pomerantz has denied misconduct.
“We are happy that the president agreed to withdraw the executive order about Paul, Weiss,” said Karp.
“We look forward to a committed and constructive relationship with the president and his administration.”
The company will be the newest business goal to make concessions to the president to avoid his anger.
Meta and ABC made settlement payments to the future Presidential Library of Trump to put an end to lawsuits that have been filed by Trump.
The president has punished other law firms that he believes she has worked against him, including the company that represented the Hillary Clinton campaign
Other technical and financial companies have publicly reversed the Dei programs in accordance with Trump's policy interests.
Previous executive orders have focused on the law firms of Perkins Coie, which was charged in the federal court in Washington and Covington & Burling last week.
Trump signed an order to punish Perkins Coie by suspending the security statements of the company's lawyers and to refuse access to federal buildings and to terminate their federal contracts.
Perkins Coie represented the presidential campaign of 2016 of Democratic Nominated Hillary Clinton, the opponent of Trump, and also represented Democrats in various challenges for voting rights during the 2020 elections.
The company reached the headlines in 2017, when it turned out that during the 2016 campaign a private research agency had hired to conduct opposition research on Trump. That company, Fusion GPS, then retained a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who investigated whether Trump and Russia had suspicious ties.
Lawyers representing Perkins Coie have filed a lawsuit at the federal court in Washington and claimed that the executive order was an illegal act of retribution.
