Greenberg Traurig has become the latest law firm to back away from representing Ye, issuing a statement on Wednesday that goes further than the firm’s comments last week.

“We condemn antisemitism and all hate speech or bigotry, which is repugnant to the core values we believe in and live,” the firm’s latest statement said. “This firm was founded by individuals who faced discrimination and many of us lost ancestors because of that kind of hate and prejudice. Our firm has notified the courts that we wish to withdraw from our representations and are moving to do so.”
