Why Trump really went after Perkins Coie

Summary

76% Informative

President Donald Trump ordered Perkins Coie stripped of security clearances and end of federal contracts.

Critics say the move is political retribution against an opponent.

But the law firm's role in allegedly unlawful activity during Trump ’s first term complicates the characterization of the move as an act of partisan revenge.

Clinton and the Democratic National Committee hired the law-maker's firm in spring of 2016 to conduct opposition research.

Perkins Coie’s relationship with the FBI has come under scrutiny from congressional Republicans previously.

In 2022 , Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and then-Rep. Matt Gaetz sent a letter to the FBI demanding more information about a “ Secure Work Environment ” that the FBI was operating out of the D.C. office.

The FBI had set up the office space nine years prior, and the firm maintained the workspace.
