> The US Securities and Exchange Commission said it is abandoning an insider-trading lawsuit against a former healthcare executive. The executive had been convicted in a related criminal case before receiving a pardon from President Donald Trump. The agency’s decision concerns the civil lawsuit. The announcement links the dropped case to the earlier conviction and subsequent presidential pardon.
