In this conference call, Brendan Ballou, founder of the Public Integrity Project, joined The Capitol Forum for a discussion on recent developments in corruption enforcement. The conversation examined the implications of presidential pardons, evolving priorities in white-collar enforcement, and the legal mechanisms available to pursue accountability outside traditional federal prosecutions. It also explored how private legal strategies may play a growing role in addressing corruption risks, as well as broader considerations for strengthening enforcement frameworks in the current legal and political environment.
