The federal government under President Joe Biden prosecuted fewer corporate crime cases than at any point in the last three decades. White-collar criminal prosecutions hit a thirty-year low in recent years, according to data shared exclusively with the Lever.

A new report by consumer advocacy group Public Citizen shows that under President Joe Biden, the Justice Department successfully prosecuted just eighty cases of corporate crime in 2024, down from 300 in 2000 during Bill Clinton’s administration.

In 2022, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco — a former corporate consultant who lobbied on behalf of Boeing and then oversaw the Biden administration’s now-defunct sweetheart deal with the plane manufacturer — said that the Justice Department needs “to do more and move faster” when it comes to cracking down on corporate crime.
