Trump revokes clearances at law firm Paul Weiss
Donald Trump has revoked the security clearances of employees at the law firm Paul Weiss, marking the third such order in three weeks targeting major firms linked to his political opponents. The firms include Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling. A federal judge recently blocked Trump's order against Perkins Coie, citing potential unconstitutionality. The judge noted that Trump's actions could threaten the firms' operations and the rights of lawyers and clients seeking legal help. The revocation of clearances affects lawyers working on government-related cases, potentially crippling the firms' ability to represent clients. Legal challenges continue, with some orders still in effect while others are temporarily blocked.
