On June 9, 2025, U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued new Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) enforcement guidelines (“the Guidelines”). DOJ issued the Guidelines in response to the Trump Administration’s February 2025 Executive Order (“EO”), which paused FCPA enforcement pending the issuance of new guidance from the Attorney General. The new Guidelines resolve lingering doubts about the future of FCPA enforcement under the Trump administration and provide important insights into the key factors DOJ will consider when deciding whether to pursue FCPA investigations or enforcement actions.
