WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is suing the law firm of Perkins Coie, accusing it of "egregious and unlawful acts," while sharply criticizing the federal judge overseeing the case.

In a statement posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump claimed a “specific member” of the law firm was involved in misconduct, though he did not provide details or identify the individual.

“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,” Trump wrote.

He also lashed out at US District Judge Beryl Howell, who he said is “a highly biased and unfair disaster.”

“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,’” Trump said.

“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,” he added.

Perkins Coie has not yet commented.
