A federal judge on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order against the law firm WilmerHale, adding to a drumbeat of decisions that have rebuffed the White House campaign against the legal industry as unconstitutional.
In a 73-page opinion, Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court in Washington. D.C., said the order unconstitutionally infringed on freedoms that preserve an “independent bar willing to tackle unpopular cases, however daunting.”
