Which agencies did Trump direct to investigate meatpackers?

Question

Accepted Answer

That's correct. DOJ (Department of Justice) enforces criminal antitrust violations under the Sherman Act—price-fixing can result in prison time and corporate fines. FTC (Federal Trade Commission) handles civil antitrust enforcement, blocking mergers and challenging unfair business practices. Both agencies have Antitrust Divisions. The executive order directed them to establish task forces investigating meatpackers. AG Pam Bondi confirmed Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins will lead coordination. Previous Trump DOJ investigation (2020) produced no major enforcement actions. Critics call this probe "performative."
