According to reports, the Trump administration has launched an investigation into the diversified recruitment initiatives of large US companies. The investigation was carried out in accordance with the False Claims Act, which is traditionally used to investigate contractors' misrepresentation of work or costs to the government. The Department of Justice has now adopted a new theory, which argues that companies with federal contracts that consider diversity factors such as race and gender in recruitment constitute fraud against the government, and the government has the right to recover related funds. People familiar with the matter revealed that Google's parent company Alphabet, Verizon Communications, and companies from the automotive, pharmaceutical, defense, and utilities industries have received notifications from the Ministry of Justice requesting relevant documents and information, and some companies have already conducted interviews with Ministry of Justice officials. Currently, the full list of companies investigated has not been made public.
