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 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."
