Judge says Trump penalties on law firm send 'chills down my spine'
A D.C. federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Trump administration to
at least temporarily halt the unprecedented penalties it levied on a
powerful law firm that has represented clients whom President Donald
Trump considers his political enemies.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled from the bench after the
two-hour hearing, saying Trump exerted "extraordinary power" and that
Perkins Coie proved it had suffered immediate damages from the
penalties.
