The Trump family wants to keep things confidential. Following the election, the Trump Organization rolled out new confidentiality agreements requiring employees to stay quiet about the extended family. The agreement's broad terms could discourage would-be whistleblowers. [CBS News]

Could 100,000 self-driving cars soon hit the road? A House panel is on board. This week, a subcommittee approved a proposal to allow automakers to deploy up to 100,000 autonomous cars without undergoing customary safety reviews. Also, states would be barred from imposing their own driverless car rules. [Reuters]

Uber's gone on a lobbying bonanza. The embattled ride-hailing company hired two new lobbying firms—Chambers, Conlon & Hartwell and Peck Madigan Jones—as it continues to reel from last month's resignation of its founder and chief executive, Travis Kalanick. The registrations come a week after Uber hired Ballard Partners, a firm led by a top fundraiser for Donald Trump's campaign. [Politico]

For the first time in the history of its whistleblower program, the SEC awarded a government employee this week for helping regulators with an enforcement action. On Friday, the whistleblower firm Katz, Marshall & Banks disclosed that it represented the whistleblower, who received $2.4 million. That award was followed two days later by another notable bounty.

“Loosey-goosey.” That's how Walter Shaub, the recently-departed chief ethics watchdog for the federal government, described his successor's approach to enforcing conflict-of-interest rules. President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Office of Government Ethics, David Apol, has drawn criticism inside the agency for seeking to scale back ethics requirements for federal employees.

The U.S. Labor Department's overtime rule is getting more comment time. That's a positive sign for business groups that have targeted the rule. By calling for comments, the Trump administration sent a strong signal that the Obama-era rule expanding access to mandatory overtime pay could be revised—or even revoked. [Reuters]

Famous for his sports-betting prowess, William “Billy” Walters was sentenced to five years in prison for orchestrating an insider trading scheme involving Dean Foods. Among the recipients of his tips was pro golfer Phil Mickelson, who forfeited about $1 million to the SEC as a “relief defendant.” [Wall Street Journal]

Trump's pick for a top Federal Reserve post signaled support Thursday for a regulatory goal of the financial industry: More transparency around how stress tests are run for big banks. That nominee, Randal Quarles, criticized “the lack of transparency that has surrounded” the annual tests. His predecessor resisted disclosing certain information out of fear banks would learn how to game the tests. [Wall Street Journal]

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau took a gamble finalizing a rule banning arbitration agreements that include class action waivers. The risk was clear: If the rule became the latest undone through the Congressional Review Act, the agency would be barred from reupping the rule without new authorization from lawmakers. The House this week voted to nullify the rule, leaving the regulation in the Senate's hands. [The Hill]
