Due to the blackout there's not much 'news' on gov sites but this was released 1/17

>Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has entered into a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice, resolving its liability for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), announced Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers.

>According to the Agreement, Skadden acted as an agent of the Government of Ukraine within the meaning of FARA, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq., by contributing to a public relations campaign directed at select members of the U.S. news media in 2012.

Anyone here recognize this LLP or partner names? I'm still looking into why this made news and nothing else but I can't find anyone related to this firm to connect any dots on either side of the fence.
