Dem firm Paul Weiss vows to adopt political neutrality, cut DEI after Trump threatens security clearance
2025-03-23
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Left-wing law firm Paul Weiss, which previously worked against President Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
during his first term, has reached a deal with the White House after Trump ordered to have their security clearances revoked with an executive order. The firm has promised to cut DEI, become politically neutral in hiring, among a range of other promises.

Brad S. Karp, chairman of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, has a long history of supporting Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
. He sought to organize major law firms to challenge policies by the Trump administration that may be vulnerable to certain legal arguments, such as those related to immigration. In 2023, Karp hosted a ''Lawyers for Biden'' fundraiser, and a top partner at his firm helped prepare Vice President Kamala Harris
What can be, unburdened by what has been
for her debate with Trump.

Trump recently issued an executive order barring the firm from working with the federal government and suggesting that its clients could lose government contracts. The move threatened the firm's business, prompting Karp to initially explore a legal challenge.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
on Wednesday, Karp met with Trump in the Oval Office to negotiate a settlement. The next day, Trump announced that Karp had pledged $40 million in "pro bono legal services during [Trump's] term in office to support causes including assisting ... veterans, fairness in the justice system, and combating anti-Semitism; and other similar initiatives.''
