President Donald Trump has moved with brazen haste to dismantle the federal government’s public-integrity guardrails.

In a span of hours on Monday , word came that he had forced out leaders of offices responsible for government ethics and whistleblower complaints.

He also ordered a pause to enforcement of a decades-old law that prohibits American companies from bribing foreign governments to win business.

On Monday , he paused enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act , which prevents U.S. companies from paying bribes to foreign government officials to win business.

On his first day in office last month , Trump signed an executive order that rescinded one issued by former President Joe Biden .

The move came as Trump returned to power with fresh overlaps between his personal and business interests, including his launch of a new cryptocurrency token.
