Trump Targets Law Firms Representing Political Opponents with Executive Orders

Sen. Lindsey Graham defends President Trump's actions, arguing they address politically motivated legal efforts against him.

President Trump has issued multiple executive orders restricting security clearances and federal access for law firms that represented his legal adversaries.
The latest order targets New York-based firm Paul, Weiss, following similar actions against Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie in recent months.
Sen. Lindsey Graham defended Trump's actions on CBS's 'Face the Nation,' claiming the firms pushed politically motivated legal theories aimed at harming Trump.
Critics, including CBS host Margaret Brennan, questioned the legality and ethics of using government power to penalize private legal practices.
A federal judge recently blocked one of Trump's orders, ruling that it violated First Amendment rights by unlawfully targeting Perkins Coie.
