Trump’s Justice Dept. slammed the brakes on investigating corporate bribery overseas — freezing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement. This gutting of anti-corruption law is a green light for criminals and a betrayal of U.S. values. #Corruption #FCPA #JusticeFail www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...
