Trump Takes Action Against Law Firm Representing Jack Smith
February 26, 2025 - 07:13
U.S. President Donald Trump has taken significant steps to restrict business dealings with the law firm representing former Special Counsel Jack Smith. On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order that suspends security clearances for attorneys connected to Smith and aims to limit the federal government's contracts with Covington & Burling, the firm in question.
Jack Smith was responsible for leading two federal criminal cases against Trump, which have since been dismissed. These cases accused Trump of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and mishandling classified documents. In response, Trump and his supporters have consistently framed these legal challenges as an abuse of the criminal justice system, arguing that they are politically motivated attacks designed to undermine his presidency.
This latest move by Trump intensifies the ongoing tensions between him and the legal entities pursuing actions against him, further polarizing the political landscape as the former president continues to rally support among his base.
