Trump targets law firm Perkins Coie, strips security access over 2016 election role

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to suspend security clearances for Perkins Coie attorneys, accusing the firm of egregious activities and unethical practices. This action stems from the firm's involvement in researching Trump-Russia connections during the 2016 election. Perkins Coie has declared the order unlawful and intends to challenge it.
