A federal judge in Washington, DC, is considering blocking the recent executive order of President Donald Trump aimed at the law firm that for years has represented Dominion’s voting systems, the leading electoral technology provider in the United States.
Judge Loren Alikhan is considering the argument of the firm Susman Godfrey, who says that the action of the president at the beginning of this month was “blatantly unconstitutional.”
The hearing occurs when the Trump Administration has increased pressure against several law and universities signatures.

“The president is abusing the powers of his office to exercise the power of the Executive Power in reprisals against organizations and people he does not like,” says the lawsuit, presented at Washington DC.
Trump’s executive order seeks to block the company’s access to government buildings and cancel government contracts, among others, on their “previous activities.”
For years, Susman Godfrey has represented the Dominion Voting Machine Company, ensuring an agreement of $ 787.5 million Fox News to liquidate the accusations that the network transmitted false statements about the company that managed the 2020 elections.
Now, the firm says that Trump is trying to “punish them” for their work “defending the integrity of the 2020 presidential elections.”
In particular, Susman Godfrey still represents the domain in his active cases against several Trump allies, including Rudy Giuliani, Mike Lindell and others.

Since Trump began attacking law firm, nine of the country’s largest law firms, including Paul Weiss, Kirkland & Ellis, Willkie Farar and Latham & Watkins – have agreed to provide a combined $ 940 million in legal services to promote causes backed by the president.
Companies also agreed to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion of contracting practices and promised not to deny the representation of policy -based clients.
Alternatively, three other important US companies: Perkins Coie, Wilmerhal and Jenner & Block – They are fighting against the President’s action against law firms in federal courts, which have temporarily arrested orders to enter into force.
