US judge strikes down Trump order against law firm Perkins Coie

  • On a recent Friday, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell invalidated a White House directive aimed at the law firm Perkins Coie.
  • The order was part of a series of executive actions aiming to punish Perkins Coie for its 2016 legal work representing Hillary Clinton's campaign.
  • The order sought to strip security clearances, block federal building access, and cancel contracts for Perkins Coie as punitive measures.
  • Howell wrote a detailed 102-page ruling stating no previous president issued such orders and quoted Shakespeare: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
  • The ruling immediately nullified the order as unconstitutional, marking a setback to the Trump campaign's actions against prominent law firms.
