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

HeadlineMar 10, 2025

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.
