Judge smacks down Trump order over 'grave' legal violations

A federal judge on Friday delivered a stinging blow to President Donald Trump’s push to punish elite law firms, ruling that one of his executive orders was riddled with “grave constitutional violations,” according to NPR. U.S. District Judge Lauren AliKhan permanently blocked Trump’s executive order targeting the prestigious firm Susman Godfrey, calling the presidential directive “unconstitutional from beginning to end."
