March 3 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday said it would pursue its bid to revive President Donald Trump’s executive orders punishing four prominent law firms, abruptly reversing course just a day after seeking to withdraw its appeals in the cases.
The Trump administration had appealed last year after federal judges struck down executive orders targeting Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block and Susman Godfrey over their legal work, diversity programs and political affiliations.
The administration on Monday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to dismiss its appeals. On Tuesday the Justice Department asked the court to withdraw its request.
