The White House said President Donald Trump will sign a memo suspending the security clearances of several employees of Covington & Burling LLP after they assisted Jack Smith's probes.

One by one, Trump is fencing in all his potential opponents. Now he’s sending a clear warning to lawyers to back off.

President Donald Trump’s decision to punish Covington & Burling for representing former Special Counsel Jack Smith will feed some firms’ worries about letting lawyers volunteer to represent former Justice Department attorneys.

The Donald Trump administration has strongly hit back at the law firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith through an executive order. Here's more about what went on

Covington said the firm is representing Smith “in his personal, individual capacity” and that the representation began him when it appeared he would be under investigation.

The memo strips Jack Smith's attorney of his security clearance as well as any other attorneys at the firm who assisted Smith while he was investigating Trump.
