The Justice Department is reportedly drafting plans to restructure and downsize key units focused on investigating fraud and public corruption. This initiative is considered a move by the Trump administration to limit prosecutors' abilities to pursue sensitive cases against influential business figures and politicians. While the specifics are not finalized, there are discussions about either reallocating cases to U.S. attorney's offices nationwide or drastically reducing investigations altogether. This restructuring aligns with recent actions taken against career prosecutors viewed as politically biased under the prior administration.
Justice Department officials are drafting plans to broadly restructure and significantly downsize several key units responsible for investigating fraud and public corruption in Washington.
The changes being considered would affect prosecutors inside the Justice Department's public integrity division, along with units that prosecute foreign corruption cases.
