Justice Department Suspends Security Clearance of Jenner & Block Lawyer Amid Executive Order Dispute

A Jenner & Block lawyer’s government security clearance has been suspended by the Justice Department. This action comes in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order targeting the firm. The suspension was communicated to the lawyer during proceedings in a criminal case where the individual was representing a defendant. The notification was part of a letter filed by Cooley partner Michael Attanasio, who represents Jenner in related litigation. Despite these challenges, the firm continues to grow, recently hiring Matthew Klapper as a partner and co-chair of its congressional investigations practice.
