Trump Targets Law Firms Representing Adversaries Through Executive Orders
Senator Lindsey Graham defends President Trump's actions to suspend security clearances and impose restrictions on legal firms involved in cases against him.
- President Trump signed an executive order suspending security clearances for employees at the law firm Paul, Weiss, following similar actions against other firms representing his legal adversaries.
- The executive order also restricts government access to Paul, Weiss employees and mirrors language from previous orders targeting Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling.
- Senator Lindsey Graham supported these measures during a CBS interview, stating that the firms pursued politically motivated legal theories against Trump.
- A federal judge recently blocked parts of the Perkins Coie order, deeming it unconstitutional, raising questions about the legality of these actions.
- Critics argue that these moves represent a misuse of government power to retaliate against private businesses for their legal work.
