U.S.'s New Fraud Chief Will Enforce Laws He Was Paid to Blunt
Sat, Feb 28, 2015
The new Justice Department official responsible for corporate-fraud prosecutions spent years working on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to water down laws he is now charged with enforcing.
Andrew Weissmann’s advocacy while at the Jenner & Block law firm included urging Congress to revise the law that bars companies from bribing foreign officials and pushing the department to drop a controversial investigative tactic. Weissmann, at the time fresh off a stint running the task force that handled Enron Corp. prosecutions, also testified on Capitol Hill without always saying the chamber was his client.
