Top Democrats from four House committees have sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, expressing concerns about the Justice Department's new policies on corruption investigations. The letter questions whether these policies will impact ongoing corruption probes involving public officials in the United States and abroad.
The Democrats, including Rep. Gerald Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, and Rep. Lucy McBath, criticized the Trump administration and DOJ for what they described as an unprecedented assault on efforts to combat corruption. They highlighted the Justice Department's pause on corporate foreign bribery investigations, reduced enforcement of foreign agent registration laws, and decreased focus on prosecuting Russian oligarchs.
