Corporate Enforcement Tracker
Investigations and Cases Against Corporate Misconduct at Risk During the Trump Transition
President-Elect Trump may talk tough on crime, but the last time Trump took office, corporate enforcement plummeted.
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 incoming Trump administration.
The tracker currently includes nearly 250 separate cases against more than 200 corporations over alleged misconduct. The list is not comprehensive, but rather is intended to highlight the most significant investigations and cases. Any known ties between the corporations and the incoming administrations are noted.
It is important to note that 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.
Please send tips recommending corporate investigations and cases, developments with any included cases, or ties to the incoming administration to enforcementtips@citizen.org (along with any sources that may independently verify your tip).
