  • A federal judge on Friday ruled that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump targeting a law firm that represented his 2016 presidential opponent was unconstitutional.

The article from CNN dated May 2, 2025, discusses a significant legal development involving former President Donald Trump and the law firm Perkins Coie. It reports that a federal judge has ruled that Perkins Coie must comply with a subpoena related to an executive order signed by Trump in 2020, which aimed to ban TikTok in the United States. The subpoena seeks communications and documents between Perkins Coie and the Trump administration regarding the executive order. This ruling is seen as a victory for transparency advocates who argue that understanding the interactions between the law firm and the administration is crucial for assessing the legality and motivations behind the executive order. The case continues to unfold, with potential implications for future legal battles over executive actions and the role of private law firms in government policy-making.
