    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.
