Jenner & Block sues to stop Trump’s executive order against law firm

The law firm Jenner & Block sued the Trump administration on Friday and requested that the law firm be stopped against the law firm against the law firm that paralyzes its ability to represent customers.

The complaint is the second time that a law firm attacked by President Trump has decided to fight in court, and in the month -old fight, which Mr. Trump led to law firms, will open a new front.

“Today Jenner & Block filed a lawsuit to stop a unconstitutional executive regulation that has already been declared illegal by a federal court. We assume that we will quickly enforce,” said the law firm in a statement.

The company has created a website – Jenner stands for companies – to publish their submissions.

Last week, Mr. Trump and the Paul Weiss law firm announced an agreement in which Mr. Trump lifted his executive regulation against the law firm in exchange for IT in order to represent customers regardless of their political inclinations and to promise 40 million US dollar to Pro -Bono rights services for the expenditure that Mister committed to Mr..

This deal was widely criticized because the company, which is equipped with Democrats, who have shown itself against Mr. Trump, was regarded as bending to Mr. Trump to protect his end result. Another large law firm, Skadden Arps, speaks to the White House to listen to a potential executive regulation against them.

Mr. Trump has followed large law firms, which he claims to have “armed” the legal system. He initially aimed at law firms who hired lawyers who were once involved in the numerous investigations of measures during his first term as president and business business.

Jenner & Block’s lawsuit was submitted to a Federal Supreme Court in Washington, and the firm asks a judge to start immediately and stop the executive regulation. The law firm is represented by Cooley, another law firm. In the lawsuit, numerous government agencies and civil servants were named as accused.

Perkin’s Coie, one of the first law firms targeted by Mr. Trump, submitted a lawsuit against Mr. Trump in the early this month. A federal judge quickly entered and stopped Mr. Trump’s command temporarily, said it was probably illegal and added: “It sends me little chills.”

Jenner & Block tries that the same judge – Beryl Howell – takes over his suit.

A representative of the White House said that Mr. Trump has targeted Jenner & Block because he once worked Andrew Weissmann, a long -time state prosecutor who worked under Robert S. Mueller III, who examined the relationship between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia as a special lawyer. Mr. Weissmann has the reputation as an aggressive investigator.

In recent years he has developed as a public critic of Mr. Trump and often appeared at the MSNBC to create a legal analysis of the indictment with which Mr. Trump was confronted with his behavior.

The Executive Ordinance also accused the company of “incorporating into obvious partisan contracts for achieving political goals”, and claimed that the company discriminates against its employees based on breeds and other categories that are prohibited by the civil rights laws, including the use of racial “goals”.

On Thursday, Mr. Trump issued a similar order from the executive against Wilmer Hale, the law firm, in which Mr. Müller, a former FBI director, had worked.
