President Donald Trump has claimed he is suing the law firm Perkins Coie which was the target of an executive order he signed last month. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post Wednesday that he was “suing” the Democratic-tied law firm for its “egregious and unlawful acts” and the conduct of one unnamed member of the firm.

A U.S. judge grilled a Justice Department lawyer on Wednesday over deals President Donald Trump has reached with nine large law firms as she weighs the constitutionality of an executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm.

On March 27, Trump ordered the federal government to stop working with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (WilmerHale)—suspending the law firm’s security clearances, directing federal agencies to terminate contracts they have with the firm, and limiting WilmerHale employees’ access to government buildings.

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell sharply criticized senior Trump administration officials for their combative response to an order she issued in the case, at one point comparing them to toddlers.

A judge in Washington on Tuesday blocked most of Donald Trump's executive order targeting law firm Susman Godfrey, dealing the Republican U.S. president a new legal setback in its campaign against firms he disfavors.
