A DC federal judge on Friday said he is inclined to grant WilmerHale a temporary restraining order against a Trump administration executive order, though there’s a question as to how broad it will be.

Judge Richard Leon of the US District Court for the District of Columbia said he will make his decision in a couple of hours.

WilmerHale filed a lawsuit earlier Friday, saying President Donald Trump’s order restricting security clearances for lawyers and scuttling contracts for the firm and its clients is unconstitutional. Trump issued the order Thursday, making WilmerHale the fifth major law firm the White House attacked in the last month.

The president targeted the firm over its ties to Robert Mueller, the former special counsel who led a probe into the 2016 Trump campaign’s alleged coordination with Russian state officials. “Mueller’s investigation epitomizes the weaponization of government,” Trump said in the order.

President George W. Bush appointed Judge Leon to the bench.

A judge on March 12 temporarily barred the administration from enforcing parts of a Trump executive order targeting Perkins Coie.
