Summary

This order sought to deny its employees access to federal buildings and review contracts involving the firm. The DOJ criticized the ruling, suggesting it encroaches on executive powers. Attorney General Pam Bondi reaffirmed the administration's stance that the executive order is necessary, highlighting political tensions surrounding firms connected to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
