President Donald J. Trump Addresses Risks from Jenner & Block – ]

EXECUTIVE ORDER TO SUSPEND SECURITY CLEARANCES FOR NATIONAL SECURITY: In a significant move today, President Donald J. Trump has enacted an Executive Order aimed at suspending security clearances held by personnel at Jenner & Block LLP (Jenner), pending a thorough review to ascertain whether these clearances align with national interests.

• Effective immediately, security clearances for Jenner employees are suspended while the review determines the appropriateness of their access to sensitive information.
  • The Federal Government will cease all material and services provided to Jenner, including access to sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIF), and restrict its employees from entering government buildings.

  • Furthermore, Federal Agencies are directed to refrain from hiring Jenner employees unless expressly authorized to do so.

• To ensure that taxpayer funds are not funneled to contractors whose operations contradict American interests, the Federal Government will terminate any existing contracts with Jenner.
• The practices at Jenner will be scrutinized under Title VII to confirm adherence to civil rights laws, particularly concerning racial bias.

CONFRONTING UNETHICAL LEGAL PRACTICES: President Trump asserts that law firms engaging in activities harmful to American interests should not benefit from taxpayer support or access to classified information.

• Jenner is accused of pursuing partisan agendas and undermining essential social values, including facilitating attacks against women and children by denying biological realities, while also obstructing efforts to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
• There are allegations of racial discrimination within Jenner, including the implementation of race-based hiring targets in violation of civil rights laws.
• In a notable example of questionable judgment, Jenner re-hired Andrew Weissmann, a prosecutor infamous for unethical practices during the politically charged Mueller investigation.
  • Weissmann’s history is marked by the misuse of governmental power, which led to the unjust ruin of thousands of American families associated with the now-defunct Arthur Andersen LLP, only for his aggressive prosecutions to be overturned by the Supreme Court.

  • Reports detailing Weissmann’s alleged dishonesty, including pursuing phantom crimes and pressuring government agencies to follow a political agenda against President Trump, raise serious concerns about Jenner’s ethical standards and priorities.

A COMMITMENT TO ACCOUNTABILITY: This Executive Order reflects President Trump’s ongoing commitment to end the politicization of government and safeguard the nation from individuals who exploit their influence for personal gain.

• Beyond Jenner, President Trump is taking steps to hold other major law firms accountable for their actions.
• This Executive Order is consistent with President Trump’s objective to realign government functions to better serve the American populace.
• The order builds upon the President’s earlier initiatives, including a directive issued on his first day in office aimed at curtailing the abuse of government power and ensuring accountability for past misdeeds.
• This action follows the revocation of security clearances for intelligence officials who erroneously claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign during the 2020 election.
