President Donald J. Trump is going on offense in one of the most explosive legal counterattacks yet launched against the Democratic Party’s institutional machine. The target? Perkins Coie—the notorious DNC-tied law firm that helped kickstart the infamous Trump-Russia hoax.
Perkins Coie’s Tainted History Comes Back to Haunt Them
Back in 2016, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee funneled over $1 million through Perkins Coie to commission Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that hired former British spy Christopher Steele to produce the now-debunked Trump-Russia dossier. That dossier, built on hearsay and lies, became the foundation of a years-long media and Deep State crusade to delegitimize Trump’s presidency.
Now, nearly a decade later, Trump is coming for payback.
Stripping Security Clearances and Fighting Back
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Trump moved in March to strip security clearances from all Perkins Coie employees, citing national security risks tied to the firm’s past political weaponization. It was a dramatic and unprecedented move—but one rooted in Trump’s longstanding pledge to drain the swamp and root out corruption.
In response, Perkins Coie sought emergency relief from the courts. Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell quickly stepped in—granting a temporary restraining order (TRO) that partially blocked Trump’s executive action.
Howell ruled that Trump’s order had violated the firm’s due process rights—a decision that Trump’s legal team blasted as a “political lifeline” to a corrupt institution.
DOJ Moves to Disqualify Howell from the Case
Last month, the Trump-aligned Justice Department formally requested Judge Howell’s disqualification from the Perkins Coie case, citing a pattern of “partiality against and animus towards the president.”
The motion cites past rulings where Howell’s decisions were either overturned or criticized for bias, and alleges a “well-documented hostility” that compromises the integrity of the case.
The stakes couldn’t be higher—with Perkins Coie facing potential legal exposure tied to one of the most coordinated disinformation campaigns in U.S. history.
Trump: “Perkins Coie Will Be Sued for Egregious and Unlawful Acts”
In a scathing post on Truth Social, Trump announced that he will be suing Perkins Coie—calling the firm out for “egregious and unlawful acts,” and singling out the conduct of a specific unnamed member of the firm.
“I’m suing the law firm of Perkins Coie for their egregious and unlawful acts… only to find out that the Judge assigned to this case is Beryl Howell, an Obama appointment, and a highly biased and unfair disaster,” Trump wrote.
“Her ruling was so pathologically bad that it became the ‘talk of the town.’ I could have a 100% perfect case and she would angrily rule against me.”
He concluded with a thunderous indictment:
“It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and she’s got a bad case of it… Beryl Howell is an unmitigated train wreck. NO JUSTICE!!!”
A Brewing Constitutional Showdown
With Perkins Coie in the legal crosshairs, and the judiciary under renewed scrutiny, this case is shaping up to be far more than a partisan grudge match—it’s a referendum on deep state collusion, legal corruption, and the weaponization of the court system against America First leaders.
The Republican base is watching. The political establishment is sweating. And Trump? He’s just getting started.
As the 2024 campaign heats up and the Epstein files, DOJ lawsuits, and swamp accountability efforts intensify, the message is clear: No one is above the law—not even the lawyers who wrote the playbook.
