Trump Expands Retribution Campaign, Targeting Law Firm Tied to Hillary Clinton's 2016 Campaign
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has signed an executive order terminating security
clearances of employees at Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented
Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. A spokesperson for Perkins
Coie called Trump's move "patently unlawful" and promised a legal
challenge. This comes just weeks after Trump signed another executive
order targeting the Washington, D.C., law firm Covington & Burling,
which employs lawyers who worked in the Obama and Biden administrations
and who recently aided Jack Smith, the special counsel who led
investigations into Trump.
