President Trump’s executive order seeks to suspend all active security clearances held by individuals working at WilmerHale, a prominent law firm in Washington D.C., and review contracts between government agencies and the firm for any work related to the investigation of former President Donald Trump or his administration. The order also requires agencies to take steps to terminate contracts with the firm or align their funding decisions with the interests of American citizens and the goals and priorities of the Trump administration. This executive order is likely in response to WilmerHale’s work representing President Donald Trump in connection with various legal matters, including his 2025 election loss and potential impeachment proceedings. The order highlights the importance of government agencies being mindful of their obligations to taxpayers and citizens when it comes to contracting and security clearances.
