On this week’s episode of Whistleblower Network News podcast Whistleblower of the Week, two-time FBI whistleblower Jane Turner interviews NWC Chairman of the Board Stephen M. Kohn about President Trump’s recent pause on Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) enforcement.
Tune in here to hear Kohn and Turner discuss what the Executive Order means for whistleblowers reporting bribery, corruption, and collusion, and to hear about Kohn’s new publication in the NYU Compliance and Enforcement blog, “Crippling the FCPA is Bad Business for the U.S.” Kohn discusses how the decision to halt FCPA enforcement damages U.S competitiveness abroad, as FCPA sanctions against foreign companies far outpace sanctions against U.S-based companies. https://wp.nyu.edu/compliance_enforcement/2025/03/13/crippling-the-fcpa-is-bad-business-for-the-u-s/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=6056ec40-641d-451f-8af6-83cb0741a105
For decades, the U.S has been the global leader in anti-corruption and anti-bribery, providing a legal framework that foreign governments can rely on. Kohn highlights the urgent need for foreign governments and civil society organizations to work together to create anti-corruption laws in order to fill the gap that the U.S has left.
National Whistleblower Center has launched a campaign to call for the resuming of FCPA enforcements. Take action today by contacting your Representatives and Senators. https://nationalwhistleblowercenter.salsalabs.org/ReverseTrumpsFCPAExecutiveOrder/index.html?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=6056ec40-641d-451f-8af6-83cb0741a105
