Washington State Attorney General (AG) Nick Brown is challenging what he describes as unconstitutional executive orders targeting law firms.

鈥淎ttorney General Nick Brown has joined 21 attorneys general in two amicus briefs on behalf of law firms fighting back against unconstitutional executive orders issued in retaliation for work the Trump administration opposes politically,鈥� stated a news release from Brown鈥檚 office Monday.

鈥淭hese illegal executive orders aimed at specific law firms are an attack on the rule of law,鈥� Brown said. 鈥淭he president鈥檚 actions could cause attorneys to avoid making certain legal claims or taking cases to avoid retribution. This would undermine our entire legal system and leave vulnerable communities in the state without representation.鈥�

According to the news release, the coalition was led by the attorneys general from Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Joining them in filing the briefs were Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Last week, Brown discussed his ongoing legal battles with the Trump administration during an appearance on “Seattle’s Morning News.”

鈥淚f President Trump or any other president is breaking the law and harming Washingtonians, I have an obligation to defend those laws, and we’re gonna do that,鈥� Brown said.

Trump issued orders suspending security clearances held by employees of certain law firms he views as political adversaries, including Seattle-based Perkins Coie, which is known for its longstanding legal work with the Democratic Party.

He signed that order in March, directing federal agencies to review and terminate any existing government contracts with the firm, though no current contracts were identified in a federal spending database.

鈥淭his is an absolute honor to sign. What they鈥檝e done is, it鈥檚 just terrible,鈥� Trump said at the signing, referring to the firm鈥檚 involvement in past political and legal controversies. 鈥淲eaponization 鈥� you could say weaponization against a political opponent 鈥� and it should never be allowed to happen again.鈥�
