Trump is ordering Attorney General Pam Bondi to pause actions taken under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act until she issues new enforcement guidelines, according to a fact sheet on the executive order, a copy of which was seen by Bloomberg News. All current and past actions will also be reviewed."
