The False Claims Act: Trump DOJ’s All-Purpose Enforcement Tool to Promote Government Efficiency and Legal Compliance

The False Claims Act (FCA) has long been a cornerstone in the fight against fraud involving federal funds, empowering whistleblowers to expose misconduct and recover billions for the U.S. government. But in the new DOGE-era of cost-cutting and leaner federal workforces, the Trump DOJ has signaled it will rely more and more on the FCA and private parties to bring enforcement actions on behalf of the government. In addition to traditional areas like healthcare and federal contract fraud, expect to see FCA actions this year against companies alleging tariff evasion, use of DEI programs, and COVID-19 and Paycheck Protection Program fraud. These actions will be supported by whistleblowers and A1-driven data-mining programs to identify anomalies and expose fraud and noncompliance.

This timely discussion will address evolving risks and trends for your company to consider during the Trump era, including the impact of recent Executive Orders, and strategies to maintain compliance amidst fast changing regulations. This webinar is essential for legal professionals, compliance officers, and anyone involved in sectors touching federal funding and foreign trade.

Key Takeaways:

• Stay current on the President’s Executive Orders, tariff policies, and DOJ directives
• Update compliance plans to address evolving risks
• Maintain and promote ethics hotlines
