The Department of Justice asked a judge on Friday to recuse herself from a case involving President Donald Trump‘s fight with the Democratic-aligned law firm Perkins Coie, alleging she has shown a “pattern of hostility” toward Trump that renders her incapable of being impartial.

The Trump administration has filed a motion to disqualify U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell from overseeing a high-profile lawsuit brought by the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, alleging that the judge's past statements and rulings reveal a pattern of bias against President Trump and his administration.

The judge overseeing Perkins Coie’s lawsuit responding to President Donald Trump’s executive order should be disqualified from the case, lawyers for the administration said.
