Trump Strikes Back! New Order Targets Law Firm Tied to Mueller & Democrats

Former President Donald Trump has once again made headlines with a new executive order targeting Perkins Coie, a powerful law firm known for its work with the Democratic Party. The firm played a key role in the infamous Steele dossier, which was used during the investigation into Trump’s alleged ties with Russia in 2016.

This latest move by Trump is being viewed by critics as an act of political revenge, while his supporters say it’s a necessary step to hold politically biased legal firms accountable.

What’s in the Executive Order?

Trump’s order places strict restrictions on Perkins Coie, making it harder for the firm to operate, especially in cases involving the federal government. Key provisions of the order include:

• Suspension of Security Clearances – Any Perkins Coie employees with government security clearances will have them revoked or suspended.
• Restricted Access to Federal Offices – Attorneys from the firm are now barred from entering federal buildings, limiting their ability to work on cases involving the government.
• Termination of Government Contracts – The order instructs federal agencies to end any existing contracts with Perkins Coie, potentially cutting off a major source of income for the firm.

Why Is Perkins Coie a Target?

Perkins Coie became a household name after it hired research firm Fusion GPS in 2016. That firm then commissioned former British spy Christopher Steele to compile the now-famous Steele dossier, which accused Trump of colluding with Russia. Many of the dossier’s claims were later debunked or deemed unreliable, but it played a major role in launching the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s campaign.

Trump has long accused Perkins Coie of being part of a politically motivated “witch hunt” against him, and this order appears to be his way of settling the score.

Legal Battle Begins

Perkins Coie isn’t taking this order lightly. The firm has already filed a lawsuit, calling the move unconstitutional and arguing that it violates their right to represent clients without political interference.

A federal judge temporarily blocked key parts of the executive order on March 12, stating that it likely violates free speech protections and due process rights. The legal battle is expected to continue for months, possibly reaching the Supreme Court.

What This Means for the Legal World

This isn’t the first time Trump has gone after legal institutions he sees as enemies. Similar moves have been made against law firms that represented his opponents, including those that worked with Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Legal experts warn that such actions could discourage law firms from taking politically sensitive cases, fearing government retaliation. Critics argue that this sets a dangerous precedent, where lawyers might hesitate to represent certain clients due to political pressure.

The Bigger Picture

Whether this executive order is a justified action or a political payback depends on who you ask. Trump’s supporters believe this is a long-overdue move to expose legal corruption, while his opponents see it as a dangerous attack on democracy.

One thing is certain—this battle is far from over. Perkins Coie’s legal challenge could shape how future administrations handle political disputes with law firms and other institutions.

For now, all eyes are on the courts to see if Trump’s latest executive order will stand—or if it will be struck down like so many before it.
