Trump admin reverses decision to drop lawsuits against Democratic-linked law firms suddenly
The Justice Department is reversing a decision to drop lawsuits against four large law firms tied to Democrats, according to sources familiar with the matter, and is now asking a court to reinstate the litigation. The move comes after the Trump administration initially withdrew from court fights with the firms in August.
The Justice Department has withdrawn its request to drop lawsuits against four large law firms targeted by President Donald Trump, reversing a decision made earlier this year, according to sources familiar with the matter. The lawsuit was related to claims that the law firms had ties to Democratic politicians and campaigns. The reversal is seen as a significant shift in the administration's stance on the case. The Justice Department will now likely continue its court fight against the law firms.
