   #Trump rescinds his Executive Order targeting Paul, Weiss because the firm entered into an “agreement” with Trump.

   According to the White House, Trump agreed to rescind after a meeting w/ Paul Weiss chairman Brad Karp, in which Karp “acknowledged the wrongdoing” of former partner Mark Pomerantz.
