WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday revoked any security clearances held by Covington & Burling law firm employees who provided pro bono services to former special counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump in a pair of since-ended criminal cases.
“This is a good one. Is everybody listening? Deranged Jack Smith — we’re going to call it the deranged Jack Smith signing or bill,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
“The weaponization of our system by law firms, even pro bono work they’re doing just in order to clog up government, stop government, and nobody knows about it more than me, and hopefully that’ll never happen again.”
The president cut off a journalist who attempted to ask an unrelated question about US troop deployments in Europe.
“Wait, I just want to savor this one, please,” Trump said before brandishing the pen he used to sign his name to the order.
“Who would like this pen? Why don’t you send it to Jack Smith? A deranged person.”
Covington & Burling spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Smith received $140,000 in free legal services from the firm, according to a Jan. 10 disclosure by his office.

Go after all the Dem “white shoe” law firms like Perkins Coie who acted as bagmen for Clinton’s illegal campaign operations against Trump. Use RICO to freeze their assets and pound them into the ground.
I am loving the press conference so much, I’m about ready to go work for the man!!
DROPPING THE HAMMER ON ALL LEVELS.
They’ll sue for reinstatement and some DC judge will order it.
This is called winning, people. He’s got the media running around in circles. Brilliance!
I had nearly forgotten who Jack Smith was, but
obviously, Trump has not forgotten at all!
Good.
Of course they will, because some black robed moron will think they have the power over security clearances.
PerkinsCoie also spawned Marc Elias and ALL the voter fraud.
The only thing about my President Trump is his usage of adjectives relative to someone. Unnecessary, you are in command. Don’t need to call him that, but I understand Sir.
Excellent!
Now, petition to disbar any of them directly involved.
Actually, him hanging from a tree limb at the end of a rope gets my vote.
I think the mofo looks a little bit like Ned Beaty in ‘Deliverance’. Oh sh!t, I broke my own rules.
Trump will never forgive Jack off Smith for swatting Mar A Lago. If I were Smith I’d get out of Dodge and hide out.
I’m guessing this might include Law Enforcement Information Network. If so, any person accessing LEIN, and giving them information, would lose their clearance. Rinse and repeat.
Can you imagine the stuff that goes on in the sound-proof room in his basement?
Worse than Joe’s shower...
No he speaks to the people. Forgotten by Republicans but known to us NYers. He has street cred. No other republican has that. Men’s vote of all creeds and colors.
Why did these lawyer need or have security clearance in the first place. It seems like half of the Washington swamp has security clearances of one level or another. I thought classified information was accessed on a need to know basis.
