On Thursday, President Trump signed an executive order against WilmerHale, a law firm associated with his political adversaries and previous election investigations. The order suspends the security clearances of WilmerHale employees, limits building access, and revokes its government contracts, claiming the firm engages in partisan activities aimed at political gain. The order specifically mentions actions related to the Mueller investigation led by a former WilmerHale partner. This move is part of a larger trend where Trump has taken executive action against several prominent law firms perceived to oppose him, following a previous rescinded order on another firm.
The order suspends security clearances for WilmerHale employees, limits their access to federal buildings, and revokes the firm's government contracts, accusing the firm of partisan representation.
WilmerHale has a team of over 1,100 lawyers across 12 offices in the US and Europe, generating nearly $1.5 billion in revenue, ranking 45th largest law firm in the country.
