Trump's looming DEI investigations have corporations on edge

While testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in July, Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, issued a warning about the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

"Either DEI will end on its own," Dhillon told senators, "or we will kill it."

Just hours after he took the oath of office, President Donald Trump issued executive orders to dismantle diversity programs and directed federal contractors to end “illegal DEI discrimination.” Fearing lawsuits and the loss of government contracts, dozens of the nation’s largest companies from McDonald’s to Facebook owner Meta rolled back or eliminated DEI programs.

Worried the Trump administration will target them next, executives are doing everything they can to comply with the president's directives and stay out of his crosshairs, said one lawyer on the condition of anonymity so he could discuss private client matters.
