The White House said that the lawsuit filed by a law firm linking it to an investigation into the FBI in Russia during the president during the president Donald Trump The first chapter – known among the conservatives as the “trick of collusion in Russia” – is “ridiculous”, after a federal judge prevented the Trump administration from cutting the company's access to federal resources on Wednesday.
Perkins Coie, the company that rented the company responsible for composing the so -called “Steele Dossier” that was released in 2017 About Trump's alleged ties with Russia, which was used to obtain a monitoring order against the former Trump Carter Campaign Adviser, submitted a request at a federal court in Washington on Tuesday asking for a temporary restriction order to prevent the Trump administration from canceling its access to federal resources.
American judge Beryl Huil agreed to the request on Wednesday afternoon.
“The Trump administration is efficiently eliminating waste, fraud and ill -treatment in the federal government,” White House spokesman Harrison Fields told Fox News. “It is absurd that a law firm for billions of dollars will prosecute it to maintain its access to government privileges and bulletins.”
Perkins Koy and the General Attorney Pam Bondi The Chief of Staff represented Chad Mezel, in front of the American judge, Berell Huil, on Wednesday afternoon.
Lawyer Dan Botsukas, who represents Perkins Koy, said nearly a quarter of the company's revenues stems from customers who have government contracts, and compared Trump's orders to “tsunami waiting to hit the company.”
In addition, Huil said on Wednesday that the matter “sends a small chills below the spine.”
Trump signed an executive order on March 6 to suspend security permits for Perkins Coie, until another review is completed to assess its access to sensitive information to determine whether it is compatible with national interests.
The request also withdrew access to sensitive information facilities for Perkins Coie and is limited to the company's access to government employees. It also prevents the federal government from employing Perkins Coie without specific permission.

As a result, Perkins Koy claim claims that the executive order of the Trump administration is “an insult to the constitution and our hostile justice system” and that the system means that the company's ability to represent its customers is “under direct and imminent threat.”
Likewise, the lawsuit confirms that the matter violates legal legal procedures because it failed to give Perkins Coie the opportunity to compete for the accusations listed in the executive order.
“The matter violates the basic constitutional protection, including the rights of freedom of expression and legal procedures, and undermines the right of all customers to choose the lawyer they choose,” said a spokesman for Perkins Koy in a statement on Tuesday. “We had to take this step to protect our company and protect the interests of our customers.”
Public lawyers, including states, including California, Arizona, Massachusetts, presented a brief summary on Wednesday, expressing his support for Berkins Koy “to emphasize the principles of law and the necessities of freedom of expression in this issue.”
“Through the official procedure, the president tried to exclude some lawyers and some views from reaching a legal court at all.” “It is a threatening message to the country's levels: unless they apply for positions or representatives favorable to the current administration, they may be their livelihoods in danger and their patriotism will be the subject of question.”
Perkins Koy represented the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee in the 2016 elections and the former president Joe Biden After Trump challenged Biden's victory in the elections for the year 2020.
Mark Elias, the former head of the company's political law, appointed the Fusion GPS research to conduct opposition research in Presidential candidate in April 2016 on behalf of Trump's opponent, Clinton, and the National Democratic Committee.
