Since taking office, the Trump administration has taken a number of actions to reduce investigations of white collar crime including directing the Justice Department to stop prosecutions under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which outlaws bribery and corruption in foreign countries, disbanding the Justice Department's Cryptocurrency Enforcement Unit and reducing the size and support of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section which prosecutes public officials accused of corruption and the IRS' Criminal Investigation Unit. In addition, a number of white collar crime prosecutions begun under the previous administration have been dropped including an action by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau against Capital One.
