Trump Guts Ability to Fight Public Corruption

“The Trump administration has gutted the federal government’s ability to fight public corruption in a matter of weeks,” CNN reports.

“Since Inauguration Day, the Justice Department has paused all investigations into corporate foreign bribery, curtailed enforcement of a foreign agent registration law and deemphasized the criminal prosecutions of Russian oligarchs. And senior administration officials have considered eliminating the Department’s Public Integrity Section, which investigates and prosecutes alleged misconduct by federal, state and local public officials.”
