President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order Friday afternoon discouraging the criminal prosecution of individuals who unknowingly violate regulatory statutes, National Review has learned, part of the administration’s broader effort to ease up on regulatory enforcement.
“The Order discourages criminal enforcement of regulatory offenses prioritizing prosecutions only for those who knowingly violate regulations and cause significant harm,” according to a White House fact sheet shared with National Review by a White House official.
