Addressing Risks From Jenner & Block

This executive order targets the law firm Jenner & Block, alleging that its activities—including its pro bono work, hiring practices, and specific legal representations—pose risks to national security, public safety, and American values. The order directs federal agencies to suspend security clearances for individuals at the firm, review and potentially terminate federal contracts involving Jenner & Block, restrict government interactions with the firm's employees, and impose hiring limitations. Its stated purpose is to prevent taxpayer funds from supporting activities deemed harmful to U.S. interests and to align federal contracting and personnel decisions with the administration's priorities.
