US audit watchdog bars, fines Hong Kong auditor
NEW YORK (Reuters) -The U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board said on Tuesday it had revoked the license of a Hong Kong firm and barred its owner for violating audit rules related to companies operating in China, including Luckin Coffee Inc. The PCAOB said in a statement it had sanctioned Centurion ZD CPA & Co and its owner Chan Kam Fuk and hit them with a civil penalty of $75,000 for violating the board's rules and standards in connection with its audit work for three firms. The auditor failed to properly assess risk and get sufficient audit evidence from Luckin in a 2022 opinion of the firm's 2021 financial reporting, the PCAOB said. The Chinese coffee firm in 2020 had settled accounting fraud charges with the SEC. The firm and Chan failed to use information about the fraud in the subsequent year's audit, PCAOB said. Centurion also violated PCAOB standards in connection with the audit of a second Chinese company and with audit procedures for some subsidiaries of a Malaysian firm, the PCAOB said. Chan and Centurion did not admit or deny the findings. A lawyer for both did not respond immediately to request for comment.

Commentary: CEOs have a new boss — Trump
If you're an American CEO, you might wake up one day to discover that President Trump has helped himself to a seat on your board of directors. Since first running for president in 2015, Trump has fashioned himself as a businessman-politician who knows what's best for American companies. Many CEOs appreciate his focus on deregulation and lowering taxes. But there's a catch: Trump has strong views on how managers should run their businesses and no compunctions about using the power of the presidency to bully bosses into doing it his way. Many CEOs are learning how to accommodate the micromanager in chief, some through lip service and others through actual business decisions. Some of Trump's interventions are remarkably mundane. He wants Coca-Cola to use real cane sugar in its soda instead of corn syrup. Coke says it will actually do what Trump wants, even though sugar is more expensive and Trumpa-Cola will probably cost more. Other demands are far more problematic. He wants the Washington Commanders football team and the Cleveland Guardians baseball team to revert to their former names, the racially insensitive Redskins and Indians, respectively. That's Trump using professional sports franchises to push his anti-woke agenda to the extreme, which may not hurt Trump, but it puts the two teams in a lose-lose position by reigniting controversies they thought they had finally put behind them. Raising cane: President Trump is lobbying for real sugar in Coke. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) · ASSOCIATED PRESS Trump's most meddlesome gambit is his trade policy, which is meant to literally force thousands of US companies to reorganize the way they do business by buying less abroad and more domestically. He directly threatened Apple with a 25% tax if it doesn't start making iPhones in the United States. After Mattel said it would have to raise prices because of Trump's tariffs, Trump threatened a 100% tax on products the toymaker imports and threatened that Mattel "won't sell one toy in the United States." Trump said he'd hit Harley-Davidson with a "big tax" if it went through with a plan to move some motorcycle production overseas. When Walmart said it would likely pass along the cost of Trump's tariffs to its own customers, Trump told Walmart it should "eat the tariffs" — pay the cost and accept lower profits — and warned, "I'll be watching." Read more: The latest news and updates on Trump's tariffs Trump's manhandling of corporate America is hitting the bottom line. General Motors (GM) said on July 22 that Trump's tariffs shaved $1.1 billion off its second quarter profits and will likely cost the company as much as $5 billion this year. The day before, Jeep maker Stellantis (STLA) said the Trump tariffs contributed to a $2.7 billion loss in the first half of 2025. The second quarter earnings season is just getting started, so that may just be a taste of the losses related to Trump's rewiring of global supply chains.

Judges oust Trump ally Alina Habba as New Jersey's top prosecutor
Federal judges declined to keep President Donald Trump's former personal attorney as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, exercising an arcane statute to rebuff the Trump administration's wishes. New Jersey district court judges voted to not let interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba stay on the job after her 120-day interim term expires, instead picking prosecutor Desiree Leigh Grace, according to a court order posted to the judiciary's website. There is confusion about when the change is effective, with the court suggesting Grace's appointment should begin today, but leaving open it could be another day. Habba, who served as counselor to the president and as Trump's personal attorney, was Trump's pick to be New Jersey's top federal prosecutor — a position she assumed in March on an interim basis. The decision to pass on Habba at the 120-day deadline of her tenure sets up a potential showdown between the judiciary and the White House, since the Trump administration lobbied judges to give Habba the permanent slot. Federal law allows for the White House to fire U.S. attorneys, although it is unclear if Trump plans to do that to Grace. Grace is a registered Republican. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who has been critical of Habba, congratulated Grace. Fellow New Jersey Democratic Sen. Andy Kim said he was 'grateful' to see Grace on the job. The fight over Habba's fate touches on deeper issues, including separation of powers and the aims of the Department of Justice — Habba has been accused of partisan prosecutions, while her allies accuse the judges of partisanship toward her. Others in the Trump administration rushed to Habba's defense on Tuesday afternoon. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media that Habba 'is doing outstanding work in New Jersey' and makes the Justice Department proud. Todd Blanche, a deputy attorney general who also served as personal attorney to Trump, accused judges of trying to 'force out' Habba before Friday. It appears some are counting from March 24 when she was appointed and others the March 28 date when she was sworn in. 'Their rush reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law,' he said on social media. 'When judges act like activists, they undermine confidence in our justice.' He was referring to the unusual process that played out this week. District court judges have a say over who fills an executive branch post because of a law about filling U.S. Attorney vacancies. The law has been around for decades with some interruption, but Congress put it back on the books after accusations that President George W. Bush's administration removed nine U.S. attorneys for political reasons. An unusual process that played out this week gives district court judges a say over who fills an executive branch post because of a law that has been around for decades, with some interruption. Congress put it back on the books after accusations the Bush administration pushed out nine U.S. attorneys for political reasons. The lion's share of the district court judges in New Jersey were appointed by Democratic presidents. Now, the Trump administration could make a countermove to remove Grace and even try to get Habba her old job back by appointing Habba to be the first assistant U.S. attorney since that official can become acting U.S. attorney if there is a vacancy. Trump-aligned lawyer James Burnham posted that Trump 'would be well within his constitutional authority to take swift action to regain control of this important US Attorneys office for the Executive Branch he heads.' At the time Habba was named to the position, few expected her to remain in the job beyond the 120-day interim window, but Trump has since nominated Habba for a full four-year term, a post that requires Senate confirmation. In the Senate, Habba is facing Democratic criticism in the confirmation process. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has previously said he wants the White House to pick someone else because he considers Habba a 'partisan warrior.' Booker's frustration with Habba includes the arrest and short-lived prosecution of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and the charges Habba filed against Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) following a scrum outside a federal immigration detention facility. In May, a federal magistrate judge criticized her office's 'hasty arrest' and swift dismissal of a trespassing charge against Baraka as suggesting a 'worrisome misstep' by her office. Habba's office has reportedly subpoenaed New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy after a comment the Democrat made about potentially housing a migrant above his garage. Habba was more overtly political than the typical federal prosecutor. Shortly after she was named as interim U.S. attorney, Habba told a conservative podcaster that she may be able to help 'turn New Jersey red.' 'Hopefully, while I'm there, I can help that cause,' she said at the time. Madison Fernandez and Josh Gerstein contributed to this report.
