Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

The law firm Jenner and Block filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration Friday seeking to block an executive order signed by President Donald Trump last week that targeted its attorneys' security clearances and essentially shuttered any interactions with the federal government.

"The Order threatens not only Jenner, but also its clients and the legal system itself," the firm said Friday in its lawsuit. "Our Constitution, top to bottom, forbids attempts by the government to punish citizens and lawyers based on the clients they represent, the positions they advocate, the opinions they voice, and the people with whom they associate."

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in D.C. Friday, accuses the Trump administration of engaging in a sweeping campaign to intimidate major law firms that either represented or once counted among its ranks individuals whom he has labeled his political enemies.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in an opinion piece published by the New York Times, blasted President Donald Trump for "a string of self-inflicted wounds … that are squandering America's strength and threatening our national security."

Clinton, Trump's 2016 presidential election opponent, called out this week's Signal chat controversy, criticized the Pentagon's moves to remove diversity initiatives and slammed layoffs at intelligence agencies. She also critiqued Trump for "cozying up to dictators" like Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"In a dangerous and complex world, it's not enough to be strong. You must also be smart," she wrote.

"The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump's America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless," Clinton added.

President Donald Trump's Friday schedule includes a 1 p.m. ET swearing in ceremony for Alina Habba, his personal attorney-turned-White House counselor, to be the interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.

After that, the president will depart the White House for Mar-a-Lago.

Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance are traveling to Greenland. The trip was set to include several cultural events but has since been scaled back amid heavy criticism given the administration's posture the U.S. should own and control the Danish territory.

President Donald Trump took aim at the law firm WilmerHale, saying it is one of many law firms that "engage in conduct detrimental to critical American interests," in a new executive order on Wednesday.

Trump argued in the order that the firm engages in "activities that undermine justice" in its pro bono practice.

WilmerHale has ties to former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated and issued a report on alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The order says that WilmerHale "engages in obvious partisan representations to achieve political ends, supports efforts to discriminate on the basis of race, backs the obstruction of efforts to prevent illegal aliens from committing horrific crimes and trafficking deadly drugs within our borders, and furthers the degradation of the quality of American elections, including by supporting efforts designed to enable noncitizens to vote." The order also takes issue with the fact that WilmerHale uses race-based "targets" in hiring.

Trump took issue with the fact that WilmerHale has ties to Robert Mueller and some of his top aides, Aaron Zebley and James Quarles.

"Mueller's investigation epitomizes the weaponization of government, yet WilmerHale claimed he 'embodies the highest value of our firm and profession,'" the executive order said.

Trump ordered his administration to suspend the security clearances of WilmerHale employees and also requires government contractors to disclose any business they do with the law firm.
