Advisor warns defense companies about Congressional anti-corruption probes
What happened
Kristina Moore advised newer defense companies to prepare for potential Congressional anti-corruption probes and to examine their ties to the Trump administration before the new Democrat-led Congress begins its session next year. Moore noted that Congress may recognize common law privileges, such as attorney-client privilege, at its own discretion, which could surprise general counsels.

Why it matters
The advice highlights increased regulatory scrutiny from Congress, which requires companies to understand oversight procedures and respond quickly to inquiries. This environment increases compliance demands and regulatory risk for defense contractors.
