Jenner & Block Challenges Trump Administration's Executive Order

Jenner & Block has sued the U.S. government over President Trump's executive order that suspended security clearances for its lawyers. The firm calls the order unconstitutional and expects a swift legal victory. This is part of a broader legal battle involving major law firms challenging similar directives.

On Friday, law firm Jenner & Block took legal action against the U.S. government following President Donald Trump's executive order. The order, which suspends security clearances for the firm's lawyers and restricts their access to government facilities and contracting opportunities, has already been declared unlawful by a federal court.

The lawsuit, filed in the federal court of Washington, D.C., represents Jenner & Block's effort to overturn what they deem an unconstitutional order. The firm expressed confidence in their case's swift resolution, underscoring their determination to contest the administration's directive.

This legal action marks the second lawsuit against the Trump administration by major law firms over executive orders targeting their operations. Previously, a federal judge halted an order against Perkins Coie, citing potential constitutional violations. The firm's legal challenge noted that Trump's order resulted in the loss of several clients.
