Vice President J.D. Vance held a press conference on Wednesday, May 13, to update the public on actions taken by the Trump administration to crack down on fraud.
President Donald Trump declared a “war on fraud” during his State of the Union address in February and named Vance to head a new task force to carry it out.
The vice president has led a task force to detect and expose fraud across multiple agencies since it was formally implemented in March, Breitbart News reports:
After the establishment of the Anti-Fraud Task Force by President Donald Trump on March 16, the Anti-Fraud Task Force started working within its first five weeks. And more recently, various agencies including the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Department of Education (ED), the Department of Agriculture, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have furthered the task force’s mission to combat fraud.
“The Vice President has brought together the entire Trump Administration to root out fraud and return hard-earned dollars to the American people – where they belong,” a Vance spokesperson told Breitbart News. “The task force is gaining momentum every day, and it is working tirelessly to deliver results on the President’s war on fraud.”
