Less Enforcement, Higher Stakes: The New Reality in White Collar Crime

White collar crime is not in the strike zone for President Trump’s administration. They’re swinging hard at immigration, drug cartels, and violent crime—but financial fraud? Not exactly leading off. Complex corporate cases take time, money, and a lot of paperwork, and this DOJ seems focused elsewhere. Add in a pro-business mindset and a lighter regulatory touch, and you’ve got a lineup where white collar enforcement is riding the bench. But make no mistake—the cases still come, and when they do, they’re high stakes.

The biggest tip? Don’t speak to the police. Ask for an attorney right away, and don’t consent to any searches.

A Shift in Power, A Shift in Priorities

Federal white collar prosecutions have hit historic lows as the Department of Justice has redirected resources toward violent crime, drug cartels, and immigration enforcement. At the same time, there’s been a steady exodus of experienced white collar prosecutors from the DOJ. Many left in response to shifting internal priorities or frustration over reduced support for corporate fraud and public corruption cases. Others were drawn to private practice or in-house roles where their experience could be put to more immediate use.

The result? Fewer high-profile prosecutions, longer case timelines, and a growing sense that financial crimes—everything from insider trading to healthcare fraud—aren’t receiving the federal resources they once did. But, make no mistake, if the government does take a swing at you, they’re aiming to hit it out of the ballpark.
