A blistering order from President Donald Trump accused the powerhouse firm of "obvious partisan representations." The firm calls it a presidential effort to silence opponents.

Jenner & Block claims the order keeping them from federal contracts and federal buildings is an unconstitutional abuse of power against the lawyers, their clients and the legal system.

The firm of Jenner & Block on Friday filed a lawsuit seeking to stop President Donald Trump’s order, which it says was made to punish firms that worked with those who investigated the president prior to his second term in office.

Pres. Trump is targeting law firms for employing attorneys who previously worked on cases involving the president. Katie Phang is joined by Atty. Rachel Cohen, a former Skadden Arps associate who resigned in protest of the firm's handling of threats from Trump.

A U.S. judge on Friday said he is inclined to temporarily block Republican President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing his order targeting prominent Washington law firm WilmerHale over its work for Democrats and its connection to a special counsel who investigated him.

Jenner and Block and WilmerHale are suing President Trump over executive orders targeting the firms for their clients and work, saying they undermine the overall legal system.

Federal judges dealt twin blows to President Trump’s retaliation campaign on Friday by issuing temporary restraining orders blocking much of his executive orders targeting two major law firms that participated in investigations of him,

Jenner & Block and WilmerHale had employees linked to the Mueller investigation, which provoked Trump in part to punish them.
