President Donald Trump has reportedly now signed an executive order revoking the security clearances of employees at Perkins Coie LLP, a prominent Democratic law firm.
This decision stems from allegations that the firm has engaged in unethical and discriminatory practices that threaten national security and election integrity.
The order suspends the security clearances of individuals at Perkins Coie while their access to sensitive information is reviewed.
Additionally, the federal government is halting all access to sensitive compartmented information facilities for Perkins Coie employees.
Federal agencies have been instructed not to hire anyone from the firm unless specifically authorized, and funding for contractors associated with Perkins Coie will also be prohibited.
The law firm had received significant federal contracts while simultaneously being a top-paid legal representative for the Democratic National Committee.
Trump expressed his commitment to ensuring that government resources are not weaponized against political opponents.
He highlighted the firm’s involvement in controversial legal actions, including its association with Fusion GPS, which produced a disputed dossier during the 2016 election.
Furthermore, the White House indicated that Perkins Coie has faced accusations of racial discrimination and unethical conduct in its hiring practices.
The executive order aligns with Trump’s broader agenda to eliminate perceived abuses of governmental power, particularly those that target political adversaries.
This includes actions against former intelligence officials who contributed to narratives regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Trump emphasized that these measures are necessary to protect the integrity of the U.S. government and uphold constitutional rights, while also aiming to prevent future political weaponization.
