Trump Administration Targets Susman Godfrey with Executive Order

The order revokes security clearances, halts federal contracts, and accuses the law firm of actions against U.S. interests, prompting constitutional challenges.

President Trump signed an executive order targeting Susman Godfrey LLP, revoking its attorneys' security clearances and barring federal contracts with the firm.
The administration accuses the law firm of undermining U.S. elections, funding groups that harm military effectiveness, and engaging in discriminatory diversity practices.
Susman Godfrey, known for representing Dominion Voting Systems in its $787.5 million defamation settlement against Fox News, has vowed to challenge the order as unconstitutional.
The executive order adds Susman Godfrey to a list of firms facing scrutiny for alleged conflicts of interest and violations of federal employment discrimination laws.
Critics argue the move represents political retaliation and an overreach of executive power, while the firm reaffirms its commitment to the rule of law.
