The Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity.
The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits.
Utterly shameless greed.

Analysis Summary
The Trump administration is planning to weaken Department of Labor rules protecting 401(k) investors, which would allow employers to include riskier alternative investments like private equity and cryptocurrency in retirement plans. ProPublica and other outlets have confirmed the regulatory rollback is underway. The post uses charged language ('gutting,' 'crony,' 'regime') to frame a real policy change, but does not name the specific official leading the effort or verify the claimed background about a company defending employers against worker lawsuits.
Claims Analysis (2)
“The Trump regime is gutting protections for workers' 401(k) plans and opening them up to risky investments like crypto and private equity.”
ProPublica confirms Trump administration plans regulatory rollback to encourage less-regulated alternative investments in 401(k)s. 'Gutting protections' is framed language — the rule change removes a guardrail, but the underlying regulatory action is accurate.
“The crony leading this charge even ran a company that defended employers from worker lawsuits.”
No specific person is named. Without identification of who 'the crony' is, this claim cannot be independently verified. ProPublica article does not attribute leadership to a specific named individual with the described background.
