The American Bar Association (ABA) has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the White House and dozens of federal agencies are orchestrating an unconstitutional campaign of “blizzard proportions” to intimidate lawyers and law firms.

The lawsuit, filed on June 16 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that the Trump administration has adopted a “Law Firm Intimidation Policy” that violates First Amendment protections for free speech and association, viewpoint discrimination, the right to petition the government, and the separation of powers.
