An ‘America-First’ White-Collar Enforcement Policy?

September 17, 2026  |  New York Law Journal

The Trump Administration has made significant changes to federal white-collar enforcement, articulating new priorities and shifting resources to prosecution of trade, tariff and customs violations and federal program (including health care) fraud. The recent creation of the Department of Justice’s National Fraud Enforcement Division reflects these distinctive priorities. In their latest article for the New York Law Journal, “An ‘America-First’ White-Collar Enforcement Policy?,” Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello partners Elkan Abramowitz and Jonathan S. Sack examine the Administration’s enforcement policies and consider how the Administration is reshaping white-collar enforcement around its particular conception of the “national interest” – what the Administration would call its “America First” agenda.
