President Trump's Executive Order on Perkins Coie Attorneys

President Trump signed an executive order to suspend the security clearances of attorneys at Perkins Coie, a law firm linked to Democratic-funded opposition research during the 2016 presidential campaign. The punishment stems from the hiring of Fusion GPS by Perkins Coie to conduct research on Trump's potential ties to Russia, which led to the controversial Steele dossier. The Trump administration has been targeting perceived adversaries, including Justice Department prosecutors and intelligence officials.

Suspension of Security Clearances for Employees of Law Firm Connected to Steele Dossier

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order suspending security clearances for employees of the law firm that hired Fusion GPS to produce the Steele Dossier in 2016. The order will halt material and services to Perkins Coie LLP, restrict employees' access to government buildings, and prohibit federal agencies from hiring their employees.
