Tracker: Corporate Enforcement at Risk
Investigations and Cases Against Corporate Misconduct at Risk Under Trump
President Trump talks tough on crime, but his administration is gutting enforcement against corporate lawbreakers.
Public Citizen’s Corporate Enforcement Tracker serves as a resource for watchdogging ongoing federal investigations and cases against alleged corporate wrongdoing that are at risk of being dropped, weakened, or otherwise modified by the Trump administration.
Corporate Enforcement Actions Halted or Dropped Under Trump
Enforcement Actions Halted | Enforcement Actions Dropped | Total |
---|---|---|
67 | 49 | 116 |
The tracker currently includes over 500 cases against more than 430 corporations over alleged misconduct. So far, the Trump administration has halted, dropped, or withdrawn enforcement actions against more than 100 corporations. The list is not comprehensive, but rather is intended to highlight significant investigations and cases. Any known ties between the corporations and the incoming administrations are noted, as are actions by the administration that could affect the cases.
The existence of investigations and/or allegations of misconduct do not necessarily mean that any laws were broken, or that an enforcement action necessarily would have been brought under a different administration.
Read Corporate Clemency, Public Citizen’s report based on Corporate Enforcement Tracker data about corporate cases being dropped and halted under Trump.
