Federal judges issued temporary restraining orders against President Trump's executive orders that targeted law firms Jenner & Block and WilmerHale, which participated in investigations related to Trump. Judge Bates found Trump's punitive measures particularly concerning as they affected the firms' pro bono work. Similarly, Judge Leon ruled against the executive order affecting WilmerHale. These rulings come amidst legal actions from the firms challenging the president's executive decrees, although the courts maintained parts of the orders that stripped security clearances from the lawyers involved.
Federal judges issued temporary restraining orders blocking President Trump's executive orders targeting two major law firms involved in investigations against him.
Judge John Bates found Trump's punishment of Jenner & Block troubling, particularly as it penalized their pro bono work for unpopular clients.
Another judge, Richard Leon, also issued a restraining order against Trump's actions targeting WilmerHale, a firm linked to Robert S. Mueller III.
The court allows Trump's actions on stripping security clearances from lawyers at the firms to remain while halting other punitive measures.
