Trump Increases Pressure on Law Firms Linked to Political Opponents
Former President Trump has intensified his campaign against law firms that he believes have acted against him politically. Key targets include Perkins Coie, a law firm criticized for its connections to the Steele dossier and its efforts related to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. In a series of executive orders, Trump has revoked security clearances for employees at Perkins Coie and similarly affiliated firms, citing their involvement in the 2016 Russia investigation and ties to political figures like Hillary Clinton and George Soros. This action is viewed as part of a broader strategy to retaliate against firms that have opposed him, as Trump continues to confront these legal entities over their past actions.
