Trump administration appeals Jenner & Block win over executive order

The Justice Department on Monday appealed a federal judge’s order blocking President Trump’s punitive executive order against the law firm Jenner & Block.
The notice of appeal is the Trump administration’s second such challenge to Big Law firms’ legal victories against orders that sought to undercut their business as retribution for ties to the president’s political adversaries. The administration appealed Perkins Coie’s win in the courts last month, meaning either could become an appeals court’s first chance to weigh the directives.
Jenner & Block was one of six law firms targeted by Trump. The firm previously employed Andrew Weissmann, a prominent Trump critic and legal pundit who worked on former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The orders cut off employees’ security clearances and access to federal government facilities, while also directing the executive branch to review any contracts the government has with the firm, all in the name of “addressing risks” to the country.
