  • The large law firm Jenner & Block is suing the Trump administration over an executive order that blocks its lawyers from doing some business with the federal government because of its history in politics and ties to the Mueller investigation.

The law firm Kaplan Hecker & Fink, known for its involvement in high-profile political cases including the Mueller investigation, has filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump. The suit challenges an executive order signed by Trump in 2020, which aimed to limit the legal protections for social media companies. This order was a response to Trump's frustration with Twitter's fact-checking of his posts. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, argues that the executive order violates the First Amendment by attempting to control or punish speech on social media platforms. The case, now before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, seeks to have the order declared unconstitutional and permanently blocked.
