White Collar Crime and the Trump Administration
Center for Progressive Reform 2017-04-29
Summary:
The New York Times reports Jared Kushner "has pushed to overhaul the criminal justice system, ... [b]ut Mr. Kushner is running into opposition from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who favors toughening, not relaxing, mandatory minimum sentences." Like so many other issues undermining the Trump presidency, different factions are at war within the White House, making any predictions about the future of white-collar enforcement seem premature.
