Law firm Jenner & Block sues over Trump executive order, becoming second firm to do so

  • U.S. District Judge John Bates, who had initially put a pause on the Trump administration’s executive order targeting Jenner & Block, listened to the law firm’s arguments on Monday seeking a permanent injunction against the order.
  • The order imposes sanctions suspending lawyers' security clearances, ending federal contracts, and barring access to federal buildings due to the firm's past employment of Andrew Weissmann from Mueller's investigation.
  • Bates challenged the Justice Department's claim that the sanctions are not punitive, noting the order appears aimed at punishment by cutting Jenner & Block's revenue flow.
  • Lawyer Michael Attanasio described the order as designed to punish Jenner & Block for its cases and ties to a president critic, calling Justice Department defenses 'verbal gymnastics.'
  • The legal challenge follows other firms successfully obtaining temporary blocks amid skepticism from judges over the executive order's legality and intent.
