Trump’s Legal Weapon Unleashed: Court Order Halts Perkins Coie’s Trump Lawsuit Immediately In a dramatic legal showdown, a federal court has issued an immediate injunction halting a high-profile lawsuit filed by Perkins Coie, one of President Trump’s longstanding law firms, against former President Donald J. Trump. The order, issued overnight, marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles surrounding Trump’s numerous lawsuits across multiple fronts. ### What Happened?

The court order came without prior notice to the plaintiff’s side, signaling the seriousness with which the judge approached the matter.
