Two law firms targeted by President Donald Trump sued Friday to bar enforcement of his executive orders seeking to shut them out of government business and strip key lawyers of their security clearances.
In separate suits, Big Law firms Jenner & Block and WilmerHale say Trump’s effort to target them amounts to an unprecedented attack on the legal profession in retaliation for their work for past clients he doesn’t like and for past causes with which he disagrees. If carried out, they say, the orders would devastate their practices and have already begun to cause anxiety among their hundreds clients with government business.
I believe this makes three now who are standing up to Trump. One has already gotten a TRO. Trump has no right whatsoever to go after these firms. We see what he's doing. He's trying to eliminate the best and most qualified lawyers who can go after him. Elon is partially behind this.
