President Trump signed an executive order targeting law firms he claims have engaged in actions against American interests. This order specifically mentioned firms like Susman Godfrey, which has represented clients like Dominion Voting Systems. Critics argue that the intention behind this executive order is to intimidate law firms for representing controversial clients. In response, some firms are filing lawsuits against the order, while others have agreed to provide pro bono services to avoid penalties, revealing the complex interplay between legal representation and political pressure.
But they don't admit guilt. Remember that, they don't admit guilt. The law firms had been guilty of, well...
In the president's telling, these are firms that have basically done things that are against American interests, that harm the United States.
Law firms that are targeted say that the effort here is to intimidate them, to punish them for the clients that they have represented.
Some have fought back. Susman Godfrey, for instance, has filed a lawsuit to try and block the order.
