Immediately mentioning Weissmann’s hiring, the chief order suspends safety clearances for Jenner & Block attorneys, and orders a assessment of contracts if corporations have employed the agency for authorized companies.

Jenner & Block isn’t the one legislation agency Trump has punished.

He’s pulled safety clearances for legal professionals at Perkins Coie for the crime of “representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton,” and even tried to ban its legal professionals from federal buildings. A federal choose, nevertheless, shortly blocked that ban, saying that the ban “threatens the very foundation of our legal system.”

“Our justice system is based on the fundamental belief that justice works best when all parties have zealous advocates,” District Decide Beryl Howell mentioned.

Trump additionally focused the legislation agency Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, which he mentioned dedicated the crime of “hired unethical attorney Mark Pomerantz, who had previously left Paul Weiss to join the Manhattan District Attorney’s office solely to manufacture a prosecution against me and who, according to his co-workers, unethically led witnesses in ways designed to implicate me.”

Apart from cancelling safety clearances held by that agency’s lawyer’s, he additionally sought to focus on its enterprise by saying the administration would “require Government contractors to disclose any business they do with Paul Weiss and whether that business is related to the subject of the Government contract.”

Legal professional Common Pam Bondi speaks within the Oval Workplace of the White Home after being sworn in on Feb. 5, 2025, whereas President Donald Trump seems to be on.

And earlier this week, Trump issued a chilling memo urging Legal professional Common Pam Bondi to hunt sanctions towards legal professionals and legislation companies that file lawsuits towards Trump’s unlawful actions in court docket.

“I hereby direct the Attorney General to seek sanctions against attorneys and law firms who engage in frivolous, unreasonable, and vexatious litigation against the United States or in matters before executive departments and agencies of the United States,” Trump wrote within the memo, citing legal professionals who defended Hillary Clinton or challenged Trump’s immigration orders because the form of actions that warrant sanctions.

Trump’s assault on legislation companies is a backdoor try at getting revenge on his enemies. The companies that challenged his actions in court docket or employed legal professionals who probed Trump might face existential monetary crises if their work dries up.

It’s additionally a method of stopping his enemies from getting the illustration they need.

And terrifyingly, the orders are having each of these supposed results.

The Washington Submit reported on Tuesday that some legislation companies are refusing to characterize Trump’s enemies, out of worry they’ll face comparable retribution.

From the report:

Biden-era officers mentioned they’re having hassle discovering legal professionals keen to defend them. The volunteers and small nonprofits forming the bottom troops of the authorized resistance to Trump administration actions say that the well-resourced legislation companies that after would have backed them at the moment are steering clear. The result’s a unprecedented risk to elementary constitutional rights of due course of and authorized illustration, they mentioned—and a far weaker effort to problem Trump’s actions in court docket than throughout his first time period.

And Paul Weiss made a take care of the satan to attempt to keep away from a punishing monetary blow.

The assaults on the authorized system have authorized consultants blaring alarm bells.

“This is the autocratic legal idea of claiming a democratic mandate to attack the rule of law by using law to really erode institutional pillars that are supposed to check executive power,” Scott Cummings, a professor on the UCLA College of Legislation, informed The Washington Submit.

“It sends little chills down my spine,” Howell, the choose who blocked a part of Trump’s order focusing on Perkins Coie, mentioned as she made her ruling.
