DOJ Ends Obama Era Operation Choke Point | |||
Posted August 18th, 2017 11:15 am | |||
The Trump Justice Department is ending an Obama-era program that had attempted to cut off credit to shady businesses but came under fire from Republicans for unfairly targeting gun dealers and other legitimate operations. Just days after top House Republicans had pressed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to shutter Operation Choke Point, the department confirmed in a response letter that the program is dead. "All of the Department's bank investigations conducted as part of Operation Chokepoint are now over, the initiative is no longer in effect, and it will not be undertaken again," Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd said in the Aug. 16th dated letter, calling it a 'misguided initiative' from the prior administration. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/18/trump-doj-ends-obama-era-operation-choke-point.html |
