The memo strips Jack Smith's attorney of his security clearance as well as any other attorneys at the firm who assisted Smith while he was investigating Trump.

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive action revoking security clearances for attorneys at Covington & Burling LLP, the firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith.

The move escalates Trump’s targeting of those involved in past investigations against him. The administration is also reviewing Covington’s government contracts and considering similar actions against other firms.

Covington denies involvement in Smith’s investigations and is defending him in a personal capacity.

Smith previously led probes into Trump’s handling of classified materials and election interference, both dropped after Trump’s reelection.

    Yeah - we hear that same tired song and dance over and over again.

    Funny though that when Democrats held the majorities, they somehow couldn’t manage to accomplish much of anything, and blamed it all on the Republican “obstructionists.”

    If the Republicans really could obstruct them then, then they could obstruct the Republicans now.

    Or if they really can’t obstruct the Republicans now then the Republicans really couldn’t obstruct them then.

    Either way, they’re liars.
