Foreign corruption
Even before she takes office, US Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch is facing
a public kerfuffle—she’s been forced to blast the views of the Department of
Justice’s (DoJ) fraud chief who has criticized aggressive enforcement of the US
anti-corruption law.
In a written
exchange with senators, Lynch had to contrast the Obama administration’s goal
of tough enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) with the views
of Andrew Weissmann, who was appointed in January as chief of the DoJ’s
Criminal Division’s Fraud Section, which oversees that law.
