Trump’s latest executive orders reveal lingering anger over Russia investigation
By targeting another law firm and declassifying files about Crossfire Hurricane, Trump is continuing to exact revenge for the Russia investigation in his first term.
President Donald Trump revived an old grudge against the FBI on Tuesday, declassifying materials related to the bureau’s previous investigation of alleged collusion between his 2016 campaign and Russia and sanctioning a law firm tied to one of the key figures from that investigation.
Trump also signed an executive order sanctioning the law firm Jenner & Block, the fourth time the president has directly targeted a major law firm in recent weeks. Similar to previous orders, Tuesday’s action strips security clearances from lawyers at the firm, cuts the firm off from government contracts and restricts firm employees from entering government buildings.
