“President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday suspending security clearances of Mark Pomerantz and those who work at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison,” ABC News reports.

“The order also restricts government access to lawyers and employees at the New York-based law firm.”

Playbook: “Top law firms are debating whether to make a public show of support for two major firms that have come under attack by the Trump administration… But they’re racked by private worries they’d be targeted, too.”

Politico: “The three-member appeals panel — including two judges appointed by Democratic presidents — lifted a lower court’s injunction that had put the policy on hold last month.”

“The three judges suggested the Trump administration should be allowed to demonstrate that it will abide by anti-discrimination laws and respect First Amendment rights as it implements the executive orders.”

“President Donald Trump delivered an unusual, campaign-style speech at Justice Department headquarters Friday, heavy with grievance and meandering from such topics as Al Capone to allegations of judicial corruption as he defied the distance that has traditionally existed between the White House and the federal law enforcement agency,” the Washington Post reports.

CNN: Trump’s public airing of grievances at DOJ was unprecedented.

President Trump used his Justice Department speech to vent years of frustration and grievance against the department and the FBI — agencies he said had been run by “a corrupt group of hacks and radicals” who had “obliterated trust and goodwill built up over generations,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Trump: “They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people.”

Maggie Haberman: “One thing that can’t be overemphasized: in addition to Trump’s personal criminal lawyers leading the Justice Department, a number of Trump’s close advisers were swept up in the various investigations he faced. They share the same anger he does about what took place, and believe he is taking a victory lap that he’s entitled to.”
