President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 9 blocking law firm Susman Godfrey from accessing government resources and buildings.

Susman Godfrey, which represents Dominion Voting Systems in defamation lawsuits against Trump’s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is the latest law firm targeted by the administration. The previous executive orders prohibited the firms from doing business with the U.S. government. Some of the firms reached settlements with the administration.
