Addressing Risks from Jenner & Block

Presidential Action March 25, 2025 Document 6831

Summary

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order targeting Jenner & Block LLP, citing the firm's alleged engagement in activities detrimental to U.S. interests, such as undermining national security and constitutional freedoms. The order mandates a suspension and review of security clearances for Jenner employees, halts government contracts with the firm, and limits their access to federal resources, potentially impacting the firm's operations and relationships with government clients. This action may have significant legal and political implications, as it underscores the administration's stance against what it perceives as partisan legal practices and could lead to heightened scrutiny of other law firms involved in similar activities.
