CBS News has reached out to Paul, Weiss for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just a few hours earlier, Mr. Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/donald-trump-justice-department-remarks\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">delivered a speech<\/a><\/span> at the Department of Justice where he aired his grievances over the federal investigations into him and vowed retribution against his political foes. \t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re turning the page on four long years of corruption, weaponization and surrender to violent criminals,&#8221; Mr. Trump claimed. &#8220;And we&#8217;re restoring fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Friday order marked the third targeted move the president has made against a prominent firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In February, Mr. Trump targeted Covington &amp; Burling, a firm representing former special counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigation that ultimately resulted in Mr. Trump being charged in two jurisdictions before the election. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then earlier this month, Mr. Trump signed an order to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-targets-law-firm-perkins-coie-2016-russia-investigation\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">suspend the security clearances of attorneys at Perkins Coie<\/a><\/span>, a law firm linked to Democratic-funded opposition research during the 2016 presidential campaign into any ties between Mr. Trump and Russia.

I think the Russian hoax, a lot of people should have gone to jail, and they didn&#8217;t. I think the idea that President Trump was an agent of Russia was manufactured. The Steele Dossier was based on lies and falsehoods coming from a source that said he never meant it to be used in the fashion it was used. I think Jack Smith&#8217;s effort to prosecute President Trump for January 6 was politically motivated,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;And people who engage in trying to destroy President Trump, I don&#8217;t mind him going after them in a lawful way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump, last week, signaled more actions against firms moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have a lot of law firms that we&#8217;re going to be going after because they were very dishonest people,&#8221; Mr. Trump said. &#8220;So bad for our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/patrick-maguire\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Patrick Maguire<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Patrick Maguire is a CBS News Broadcast Associate.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/lindsey-graham-trump-executive-orders-law-firms-face-the-nation\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Sen.
