Updates on hearings to confirm Paul Atkins as SEC chair and what it means for companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, CBOE, Nasdaq and Virtu are among key catalysts that BI litigation and policy analysts are watching this week. The team also discussed the legality of auto tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on March 26 and reciprocal tariffs expected on April 2. The firing of FTC commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter is unlikely to materially affect the outcome of cases against Meta, Amazon.com, UnitedHealth, Cigna, CVS and other companies, but lawsuits challenging their termination could provide insights into Trump’s ability to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. A US Supreme Court March 26 hearing signaled the high court will probably reject a constitutional challenge to the FCC’s $8 billion universal-service subsidy program, from which AT&T, Charter and Verizon have received funds.
