Addressing Risks From Jenner & Block

On March 25, 2025, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 14246, targeting the law firm Jenner & Block for allegedly engaging in activities that threaten national security and public interests. The order mandates a review and potential suspension of security clearances for individuals at Jenner, cessation of federal resources and services to the firm, and a review of government contracts involving Jenner. This action could lead to significant legal and political ramifications, as it raises concerns about the balance between governmental oversight and the independence of legal practices, potentially sparking debates over the use of executive power to influence private sector activities.
