Trump signs order targeting law firm behind $787.5m Fox defamation suit -- The Guardian [View all]
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-executive-order-fox-news-law-firmOrder punishes Susman Godfrey, which helped Dominion Voting Systems get millions from Fox for 2020 election lies
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday punishing the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain a $787.5m settlement from Fox for lies about the 2020 election.
The order against the firm, Susman Godfrey, marks the latest effort by the president to punish attorneys and firms who have opposed his interests.
The order seeks to harm the firm by limiting its attorneys from accessing government buildings, revoking security clearances and essentially making it impossible for it to represent anyone who has business before the federal government.
Trump’s rationale for targeting the firm was not immediately clear.

WTF? Of course, it is perfectly clear. I hope The Guardian does not get caught in the "white-washing" machine.
