President Trump's aggressive stance toward major law firms has alarmed the legal sector, leading some firms to prepare for litigation against potential administration actions. Significant law firms, like Perkins Coie and Covington & Burling, have been targeted through threats to their government contracts and personnel security clearances. Trump's accusations of dishonesty and alignment with his opponents reflect a broader strategy to undermine the legal industry's influence and connections with government entities. Legal experts view this approach as an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and legal norms.
Trump's pressure campaign - which lawyers and scholars say is an unprecedented threat to the legal community and a blow to the First Amendment - shows no sign of letting up.
The legal industry is under attack. Trump pushes the limits of everything: the legal boundaries, picking fights with massive law firms.
