The new emphasis on small-dollar fraud comes as the administration has issued pardons and commutations to white-collar convicts, pulled back from pursuing criminal cases against multinational corporations and dropped high-profile charges against wealthy executives.

Not to defend Trump specifically, but ALL presidents have pardoned white-collar criminals. Excluding Jan 6th blanket pardon, some may be surprised to learn trump has issued the fewest pardons of any president. Getting a pardon from Trump is actually quite hard
