“President Trump broadened his campaign of retaliation against lawyers he dislikes with a new memorandum that threatens to use government power to punish any law firms that, in his view, unfairly challenge his administration,” the New York Times reports.
“The memorandum directs the heads of the Justice and Homeland Security Departments to ‘seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable and vexatious litigation against the United States’ or in matters that come before federal agencies.”
