President Donald Trump on Wednesday called a federal judge related to his legal wrangling with the Perkins Coie law firm a "train wreck" and appeared say he's filed a lawsuit against the firm.

“I’m suing the law firm of Perkins Coie for their egregious and unlawful acts, in particular the conduct of a specific member of this firm, only to find out that the Judge assigned to this case is Beryl Howell, an Obama appointment, and a highly biased and unfair disaster,” Trump, said on Truth Social. 

In March, Trump signed an executive order mandating Perkins Coie lawyers have their security clearances stripped and to terminate any government contracts that might exist with the firm or other entities that it represents. 

The firm has challenged the case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia along with a request for a temporary restraining order to bar enforcement of the executive order. 

Howell is overseeing the case, amid the Justice Department's attempt to remove her. She has ruled the order likely violated the constitution and temporarily blocked enforcement of it.

Trump continued in his post Wednesday: “She ruled against me in the past, in a shocking display of sick judicial temperament, on a case that ended up working out very well for me, on appeal. 

"Her ruling was so pathologically bad that it became the ‘talk of the town.’ I could have a 100% perfect case and she would angrily rule against me. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and she’s got a bad case of it. To put it nicely, Beryl Howell is an unmitigated train wreck. NO JUSTICE!!!”

Perkins Coie helped fund a dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele about the 2016 Trump presidential campaign colluding with Russia. The dossier and the collusion theory have since been discredited. Perkins Coie helped Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign generate the baseless anti-Trump dossier.

Howell issued the temporary restraining order after hearing arguments from Justice Department chief of staff Chad Mizelle and from Dane Butswinkas, of Williams & Connolly, which is representing Perkins Coie.

The law firm’s role in generating the dossier was front-and-center during back-and-forth discussions between the judge and the DOJ, but the judge ultimately ruled that Perkins Coie “has met its burden” for a temporary block of parts of Trump’s order.

Howell ruled that Perkins Coie showed it was likely to succeed on First Amendment and viewpoint discrimination claims, alleging that “Perkins Coie and its employees were targeted” for having “political viewpoints that are unpopular” with the Trump Administration. 

The judge also said that the “national security” concerns by the Trump Administration “cannot mask” that, in her view, Trump’s order aims to “punish the president’s political opponents.” Howell ruled that Trump was motivated by a “personal grievance” and a “personal vendetta” against the firm. Howell said that Perkins Coie also showed it is likely to succeed on a host of other claims it made and contended that Trump’s executive order was essentially an unconstitutional bill of attainder.

The lawyers for Perkins successfully sought to stop three sections of the Trump order – the section laying out Trump’s reasoning on why Perkins Coie posed a risk to national security and U.S. interests, the section ordering all federal agencies to review all contracts with Perkins Coie or with entities doing business with Perkins Coie and to terminate those contracts to the maximum extent required by law, and the section limiting Perkins Coie’s access to federal buildings.
