Niall Stanage, "Democrats, lawyers left reeling from Paul, Weiss firm’s Trump deal" https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5208538-trump-intimidates-law-firms/

«For all three legal firms — and for others eyeing these developments with alarm — there is a near-certainty that they would lose significant numbers of clients if they lose their security clearances. In the case of Perkins Coie, the Trump administration has signaled it will not do federal business with the firm’s clients — a massive pressure point that could call the firm’s existence into question.»

The crack down on the legal sphere – one of the few potentially effective aereas of opposition – is a main goal of the Trump regime.
