SPECIAL REPORT: Obama hit corporate offenders hard. Trump uses a lighter touch.

A business that violates federal law — by failing to pay overtime, fouling the air or committing financial fraud — could have an easier time avoiding the harshest penalties under the Trump administration if it agrees to come forward and cooperate.

NBC News analyzed enforcement actions at multiple key agencies since President Donald Trump took office. White House officials say the new approach will encourage businesses to do the right thing.

But critics warn it fosters bad behavior. "Saying, 'We're going to pat you on the back, try better next time,' is not going to deter the kind of wrongdoing at the scale that companies are doing," said Rick Claypool, research director at Public Citizen.
