President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on Feb. 25 suspending the security clearances for employees at a Washington-based law firm who worked on the former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations.
The memo targets attorneys at Covington & Burling LLP who assisted Smith. A White House official said that the Trump administration would be “suspending and putting under review the security clearances for the attorneys and employees at that firm who worked with Jack Smith’s team” due to them providing pro bono legal services to the investigations.
