Exclusive: Trump to Suspend Security Clearances of Employees at Law Firm at Center of Russia Hoax
Breitbart ^ | 03/06/2025 | Nick Gilbertson

Posted on 03/06/2025 1:49:02 PM PST by DFG

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Thursday suspending security clearances held by employees of the law firm that hired Fusion GPS, which produced the infamous Steele Dossier in 2016, Breitbart News has learned.

A White House document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a White House official states that clearances held by those who work at Perkins Coie LLP “will be immediately suspended, pending a review of whether their access to sensitive information is consistent with the national interest.”

“The Federal Government will halt all material and services, including sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) access provided to Perkins Coie LLP and restrict its employees’ access to government buildings,” according to the document.

The order will also prohibit federal agencies from hiring Perkins Coie LLP employees, barring specific authorization, and it “will prohibit funding contractors that use Perkins Coie LLP.”

There will be a “rigorous” review of all contracts between the law firm and the federal government, and agency heads will be directed, as legal, to terminate contracts.

“The practices of Perkins Coie LLP will be reviewed under Title VII to ensure compliance with civil rights laws against racial bias,” the document adds.

Again. WHY does anyone not working in any current administration have access to national security information?

Another law firm is a friend of Hunter Biden and strangely pops up with nefarious connections.

Latham Watkins.
Liz Cheneys husband Phil Perry was Monsanto’s lead lawyer there. He worked for DOD and DOJ. Probably has security clearance.

“will prohibit funding contractors that use Perkins Coie LLP.”

That’ll kill their D.C. office.

In addition to suspending Security Clearances at Perkins Coie LLP, every employee with access to SCI or SAR programs should be immediately out-briefed from these programs.

Also, every employee whose security clearance is being suspended should acknowledge the suspension in writing.

All classified documents, digital & hard copy need to be secured.

A do not destroy order should immediately be issued to Perkins Coie LLP.

There are a number of private companies that have employees with security clearances. Not all of their employees, but enough for them to be able to do business for the government.

This is the same law firm behind the Jim Jordan / OSU wrestling smear.

Do not forget: Perkins Coie was the law firm tasked with hiding all of Obama's records.

At one point, the FBI even had an office set up in their firm. Remember, it is where Marc Elias practiced until they parted ways.

“””There are a number of private companies that have employees with security clearances. “””

My son had one so he could work on stuff for the government. Very few in the large company had one.
