President Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation targeting WilmerHale, a law firm with ties to former special counsel Robert Mueller, making it the latest law firm to be a target for retribution.

The presidential action directs the government to suspend any security clearances held by WilmerHale employees, review the firm's access to government buildings and terminate any contracts with WilmerHale.

The proclamation specifically cites WilmerHale employing Mueller, the former special counsel who oversaw the investigation into whether the 2016 Trump campaign coordinated with Russia, as well as two of Mueller's aides, Aaron Zebley and James Quarles.

"This weaponization of the justice system must not be rewarded, let alone condoned," the proclamation states.
