Trump Takes Executive Action Against WilmerHale Law Firm
In a significant move, former President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the WilmerHale law firm, known for its ties to Robert Mueller. This action marks the latest in a series of measures taken by Trump against law firms he perceives as adversaries. The order includes the suspension of security clearances for employees of WilmerHale and follows a broader trend where law firms have been seen scrubbing references to the Mueller investigation in light of the heightened scrutiny. The executive order has stirred considerable controversy and debate regarding the implications for legal practices and the political landscape.
