The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced new enforcement priorities under President Trump, including a renewed focus on white-collar crime, healthcare fraud, federal program and procurement fraud, and trade and customs fraud such as tariff evasion. The DOJ Criminal Division has revised its enforcement guidance and expanded the Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program to include trade, tariff, and customs fraud by corporations. In fiscal year 2024, FCA settlements and judgments totaled over $2.9 billion, with recent cases including Ford Motor Company's $365 million settlement, International Vitamins Corporation's $22.8 million settlement, Samsung C&T America's FCA case, King Kong Tools' $1.9 million settlement, Homestar North America's $798,334 settlement, and Alexis LLC's $7.7 million settlement. In a criminal case, Akua Mosaics and Kenneth Fleming were ordered to pay $1.04 million in restitution. The DOJ has also announced its intent to use the False Claims Act (FCA) to investigate and pursue claims against entities that violate federal civil rights laws, including those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This 'Civil Rights Fraud Initiative' is supported by executive orders, including Executive Orders 14151, 14168, and 14173, and a memorandum from Attorney General Pam Bondi. The initiative targets recipients of federal funds who falsely certify compliance with anti-discrimination laws and is led by the DOJ's Civil Rights and Fraud Sections. In response to pressure from the Trump administration, nine major BigLaw firms—including Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Paul, Weiss, Milbank, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Kirkland & Ellis, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Latham & Watkins, and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft—have defended their multimillion-dollar pro bono deals with President Trump as legal and ethical. Skadden has changed its pro bono policy so that representation is in the name of the firm rather than individual lawyers. A minority of elite law firms have chosen to challenge the administration's actions in court. A federal judge recently struck down an executive order targeting WilmerHale, marking the third consecutive legal victory for firms that have resisted the administration's pressure, with Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block also prevailing in similar cases.
