Trump Faces Lawsuits from Two Major Law Firms as Another Reaches Settlement

Jenner & Block and WilmerHale sue Trump over executive orders targeting their operations, while Skadden Arps agrees to a $100 million pro bono deal to avoid sanctions.

  • Jenner & Block and WilmerHale filed federal lawsuits on March 28, challenging President Trump's executive orders as unconstitutional and retaliatory.
  • The lawsuits argue that the orders, which suspend security clearances and restrict federal contracts, violate First Amendment protections and undermine the legal system.
  • Skadden Arps reached a settlement with the Trump administration, committing to $100 million in pro bono services to avoid similar sanctions.
  • The targeted law firms have historical ties to investigations involving Trump, including the Mueller probe and other legal actions against him.
  • The legal community remains divided, with some firms resisting through litigation while others negotiate settlements to protect their business interests.
