NEW: Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — the law firm that Paul Manafort hired as part of his work for Ukraine — has reached a settlement with DOJ, agreeing to register retroactively as a foreign agent and pay $4.6M (the money it earned for that work)
You may also remember Skadden as the law firm that Alex van der Zwaan (remember him? buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…) worked for
Here's the full DOJ agreement with Skadden re: resolving claims that they failed to register as a foreign agent for Ukraine assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5687…
Of note in the Skadden agreement: It only resolves claims against the law firm, not individual past or present employees. Recall that CNN reported last year that former partner Greg Craig, who was involved with the Ukraine project, was under investigation: cnn.com/2018/09/14/pol…
Here's the statement from Skadden about the agreement with DOJ: "We have learned much from this incident and are taking steps to prevent anything similar from happening again."
Asked if former Skadden partner Greg Craig (who was involved in the Ukraine project that Skadden got in trouble for) is under investigation, Craig's lawyer Bill Taylor declines to comment
