President Donald Trump of the United States said on Wednesday, that he was suing law firm, Perkins Coie for “egregious and unlawful acts” and cited the conduct of an unidentified member of the firm.

Trump revealed this in a post on his Truth Social.
Last month, his administration asked the federal judge spearheading a challenge to his executive order targeting Perkins Coie to step aside from the case, accusing her of a “pattern of hostility” toward the president.
“I’m suing the law firm of Perkins Coie for their egregious and unlawful acts, in particular the conduct of a specific member of this firm,” Trump wrote.
Again, the Republican slammed the judge, US District Judge Beryl Howell, as “highly biased.”
He issued an executive order last month that calls to terminate federal contracts held by Perkins Coie's clients if the firm performed any work on them.
In retaliation, Perkins Coie sued Trump's administration, arguing that the president's order violated constitutional protections.
