Judges temporarily block Trump’s orders targeting Jenner and Block, Wilmerhale’s law firm

The federal judge at DC on Friday partially blocked the two executive orders signed by President Donald Trump who targeted Jenner and the Block and Wilmerhale law firm – while stopping Trump’s efforts to punish the leading law firm related to his political enemies.

In the lawsuit filed by Jenner and Block, DC District Judge John Bates described Trump’s executive orders – which aims to disarm the company lawyer for all security permits that they might have and strongly limit any business they might have before the Federal Government – as “problematic” and “disturbing.” He said it was targeting the first amendment of the company and its employees and the right to the legal process.

Bates, appointed from former President George W. Bush, while ordered the government from upholding aspects of orders that seek to limit government officials from being involved with officials from Jenner and Block, after he said the government failed to provide substantive answers about how employees from the company threatened national security.

The judge said that lawyers representing Jenner and Block showed that they were likely to be targeted based on the right to protected freedom of speech, and that they would suffer economic losses that could not be improved if fully applied.

Then on Friday, Judge Richard Leon also gave a temporary detention order to partly ordered another executive order signed by Trump who targeted Wilmerhale’s law firm.

Leon, also a former President George W. Bush, said that some parts of Trump’s orders clearly showed “acts of retaliation based on the viewpoint felt by” Wilmerhale employees.

“There is no doubt about this acts of retaliation shivering speech and legal advocacy, or that he qualifies as constitutional damage,” Leon said in his written order, after the trial Friday night.

Leon is now the third federal judge who mostly receives arguments from the law firm targeted by Trump that his orders may not

The two law firms filed a lawsuit at the DC Federal Court on Friday to block the executive order – on the same day the other great law firm reached an agreement of $ 100 million to further avoid a similar Trump executive order.

Lawsuits accuse Trump of being involved in a large campaign to intimidate the main law firm that has represented the plaintiff who is currently suing the government, or who has represented or at one point of employing those who are not liked.

Trump’s executive order threatened their future and “the legal system itself,” Jenner and Block said in his lawsuit.

“This order sends a clear message to the legal profession: stop certain representatives who harm the government and leave administrative criticism – or suffer from consequences,” said Jenner and Block Suit. “The command is also trying to suppress the business and individuals to question or even leave their association with the advisor they choose, and to relax bring at all legal challenges.”

Both companies are the latest companies that are trying to fight what has become a quick attack by the White House that seeks to target individual companies that have recruited or representing Trump’s political enemies.

Meanwhile, Trump said on Friday that Skadden’s Law Firm, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom made an agreement to avoid one of his executive orders by giving $ 100 million in pro Bono work during Trump administration – among other guarantees.

This step has sent a wave of surprise through the legal community. The White House is ready to target more large law firms, sources to tell ABC News, and there is an ongoing discussion between the main advisors about strategies related to the possibility of entering into negotiations with more than them.

The law scholars said there was a slight legal precedent for Trump’s war on great law, which had created a terrible effect throughout the legal community, and most of course would have a terrible effect on their opponents who would need legal representatives on it.

The company’s legal action came after the efforts that were successful by the Perkins Coie law firm, which earlier this month secured a court order that prevented the similar executive actions signed by Trump.
