A Washington DC judge deemed President Trump's executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie unconstitutional, voiding it. The order, issued in March, suspended security clearances and reviewed government contracts due to the firm's work for Hillary Clinton in 2016. The ruling cited violations of free speech and due process rights. The decision has implications for other law firms that reached deals with the Trump administration, with some companies already severing ties with firms that settled, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the impact on client representation.
