Anticipated Impact

Like other executive orders from March 2025, EO 14250 directed agencies to suspend law firm WilmerHale's security clearances, terminate federal contracts with the firm, block access to government buildings for the firm's employees, and discourage federal officials from interacting with WilmerHale employees. The EO cited the firm’s former affiliation with Robert Mueller and alleged that WilmerHale "employs lawyers who weaponize the prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process."
