Trump administration texts journalist Yemen attack plans. Hyundai to invest billions in Louisiana steel plant. Appeals court panel appears divided on Trump's deportation of immigrants under wartime law. CBS News Correspondent Jennifer Keiper with tonight's World News Roundup.
For weeks, President Trump has been issuing executive orders and memos that levy or threaten sanctions on major law firms.
The moves suspend security clearances, cancel government contracts, bar employees from federal buildings — and other actions that threaten their ability to represent their clients.
While Trump complains the law firms employed "very dishonest people," legal experts say Trump is retaliating against firms who have represented his political opponents or, in one case, rehired an attorney who had left his position to help prosecute a case against Trump.
We hear from Rachel Cohen, who publicly resigned from her law firm in protest.

Despite winning the electoral college, and popular vote, President Donald Trump continues to face numerous legal roadblocks as he tries to fulfill his campaign promises, such as reigning in mass illegal immigration and protecting Jewish students on college campuses.
Well-funded liberal organizations and left-wing activist judges have launched a full-court-press to seemingly block everything Trump is doing, which is eerily similar to the 2022-24 lawfare period, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”
“This is very analogous—cherry-picking left-wing judges is very analogous to what we watched all during the 2022-24 lawfare period. You remember Judge [Arthur] Engoron, Judge [Juan] Merchan, and Judge [Lewis] Kaplan—he was the judge in the E. Jean Carroll [case]. And we had the Alvin Bragg judge and the Letitia James. They were all—like these judges, they had two things in common: They were left-wing activist judges, appointed by either Biden, Obama, or Bill Clinton. And they had minor to major conflicts of interest where people in their family were big, either had worked for a prior Democratic administration or themselves were activists.
“And what did they do? They tried to put Donald Trump in jail.
“That same lawfare has now been transmogrified and put into a more concerted effort to stop everything that Donald Trump is trying to do. And what he's trying to do, remember, is not radical. It's just simply to enforce immigration law. It's just simply to bring back the country to the middle.”
