Law firm Perkins Coie is suing the Trump administration over an executive order that sanctioned the firm for its ties to Democratic politics, Bloomberg Law reports. The firm filed suit in the federal court in Washington, D.C., today after hiring Williams & Connolly to represent it in the matter. The order, signed on March 6, strips the firm’s lawyers of security credentials, terminates federal contracts with firm clients, and bars firm lawyers from entering government buildings or getting jobs at federal agencies. The president said the move was in response to the firm being involved in “weaponization against a political opponent’’ during the 2016 presidential campaign. The firm says the directives put its solvency and existence at risk.
