In a bold move, President Trump has revoked the security clearances for employees at the notorious DNC law firm, Perkins Coie. This firm, implicated in the infamous 2016 election scandal, played a significant role in spreading the false ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier.
The orchestrated smear campaign saw Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee funneling over a million dollars to Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS to concoct lies about President Trump. Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele was enlisted to create a dossier filled with falsehoods about Trump’s alleged ties to Russia, ultimately published by BuzzFeed in 2017. This scandalous dossier has since been largely debunked, further highlighting the deceitful tactics employed by Clinton and the DNC.
In 2022, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined Clinton’s campaign for its clandestine payments to Fusion GPS through Perkins Coie, a slap on the wrist for orchestrating such a significant deception.
President Trump’s Stand
President Trump proudly announced, “This is an absolute honor to sign,” as he issued the executive order stripping Perkins Coie employees of their security clearances.
NEW: President Donald J. Trump signs an executive order suspending the security clearances for employees at Perkins Coie — which played a key role in the Russia hoax.

John Ratcliffe’s Revelation
Former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has previously indicated that the entire Perkins Coie firm could face indictment. He stated, “This was a coordinated effort by Hillary Clinton Campaign officials, by executives who were working with them, lawyers who work for the campaign, all attempting to defraud the federal government.” Ratcliffe emphasized that such actions constitute a felony, and when committed collectively, it forms a conspiracy. This is what Durham’s investigations are uncovering.
If multiple attorneys from a single law firm are engaged in deceitful practices against the government, then that firm, such as Perkins Coie, could be held accountable with serious legal consequences.
Recently, President Trump also revoked security clearances for employees at Covington & Burling, a top DC law firm that provided $140,000 in pro bono services to former special counsel Jack Smith, showcasing his commitment to holding powerful legal entities accountable.
