A federal judge on June 27 blocked an executive order signed by President Donald Trump targeting the law firm Susman Godfrey.

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden in 2023 for the District of Columbia, stated in her 53-page ruling that President Trump’s order “goes beyond violating the Constitution and the laws of the United States,” and that the order “threatens the independence of the bar—a necessity for the rule of law.”
