President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday suspending any active security clearances for the attorneys working for a group who supposedly funded the Steele Dossier.
The order targeted law firm Perkins Coie, who reportedly represented Hillary Clinton in 2016, and assisted her in creating the dossier for an effort to riddle the president’s first term with accusations that he colluded with the Russians to win the presidential election, Just The News reported.
However, no collusion was ever found after an extensive years-long investigation, according to the outlet.
In the order, the president declared that Perkins Coie “had hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false ‘dossier’ designed to steal an election.”
“Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws, including those requiring voter identification,” the executive order read. “In one such case, a court was forced to sanction Perkins Coie attorneys for an unethical lack of candor before the court.”
Previously, President Trump revoked security clearances from those working for former U.S. Special Council Jack Smith.
He also gave Attorney General Pam Bondi and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard the greenlight to “immediately take steps consistent with applicable law to suspend any active security clearances held by individuals at Perkins Coie, pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with the national interest.”
