“During a Wednesday hearing in Washington, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said she would grant the firm’s request for a temporary restraining order against the president’s order, which also sought to limit Perkins Coie’s work with federal contractors.
Trump ordered a government review aimed at ending all contracts the firm currently holds with any federal agencies and a review seeking to cancel contracts with its clients. The order also limits its lawyers’ ability to access government officials or retain security clearances.
In its lawsuit, Perkins Coie wrote that seven of its clients, including a major government contractor, had already pulled back legal work following Trump’s order or were planning to, resulting in “significant revenue” losses for the firm.”
“Howell was appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in 2010 after being nominated by then-President Barack Obama.”

“What People Are Saying
Attorney and Trump ally Mike Davis, Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter: “Judge Beryl Howell is an Obama judge, who previously served as a top aide to then-Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT). She previously served as the supervising judge for Mueller’s bogus Russian collusion investigation against President Trump. She’s a partisan hack.””
