Acting US attorney Alina Habba successfully obtained the dismissal of a long-running foreign bribery case thanks to President Trump's executive order on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Initially, a judge had denied her predecessor's request for a six-month delay, leading to a clash. However, Judge Michael Farbiarz ultimately agreed to dismiss the case brought against two Cognizant executives. The dismissal signals a significant shift in legal proceedings and reflects ongoing disputes around Trump's policies in federal courts.
“The Government’s motion is based on the recent assessment of the Executive Order’s application to this matter.”
“The motion is granted,” Farbiarz wrote, agreeing to Habba's request to dismiss the foreign bribery case.
