An attorney specializing in national security law sued the Trump administration to challenge the revocation of his security clearance pursuant to a presidential memorandum issued by President Trump. Plaintiff, who had spent decades representing federal employees, contractors, and whistleblowers requiring access to classified information, argues that the memorandum and its implementation violates the Administrative Procedure Act, the First Amendment, and due process. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, including a ruling that the memorandum was unconstitutional, an order preventing its continued enforcement against him, and a name-clearing hearing.
