Summary
President Donald Trump issued an executive order targeting the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, accusing it of activities that undermine American principles and security. The order mandates a review and potential suspension of security clearances for individuals at the firm, halts government contracts with the firm, and restricts federal interactions with its employees. This move could lead to significant legal and political implications, including challenges from the legal community and debates over the executive branch's reach in limiting private sector activities.
