This episode is the first of a two-part series of podcasts dedicated to the chaotic (at best) first 100 days of the Trump administration as it related to compliance. Today we have Jonathan Armstrong and Jay Rosen. Next week Matt Kelly and Mike Volkov. 

1. Jonathan Armstrong leads a discussion of the Trump administrations devolution of Privacy Shield, GDPR and what they mean for American companies doing business in the UK and EU. He discusses the key differences in the DOJ’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in an FCPA analysis and under the Bribery Act, differences in the EU approach to conflict minerals and under the Trump Administration and concludes by giving us his thoughts on what Brexit means for compliance.
