On January 20, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing OMB to evaluate practices of contracting officers and debarring officials in response to contractors' certifications regarding serious tax delinquencies and to provide him, within 90 days, recommendations to ensure that contractors with any such delinquencies are not awarded new federal contracts. Additionally, the President directed the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to conduct a review of the accuracy of contractors' certifications of non-delinquency that companies bidding for federal contracts must submit.

On August 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance (“Senate Finance Committee”) sent Paul Atkins, Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a letter calling on the SEC to investigate White River Energy Corp (“White River”). In the letter, the Senate Finance Committee confirmed a criminal investigation into White River related to the sale of so-called “tribal tax credits” that according to both Congress and the IRS, do not exist. The letter further states that White River allegedly earned millions of dollars selling these credits and has not been forthcoming with investors regarding the existence of the criminal investigation. According to the Senate Finance Committee, White River has failed to file financial disclosure documents with the SEC since March 15, 2024, missing six consecutive reporting periods. The letter instructs White River to disclose the existence of the DOJ criminal tax investigation, and calls on the SEC to take action if White River fails to do so.
