Vance by expanding his role in overseeing efforts to combat fraud
Amid a series of Cabinet changes, President Donald Trump is highlighting his support for Vice President J.D. Vance by expanding his role in overseeing efforts to combat fraud. Vance said that a federal task force uncovered an alleged $50 million hospice and healthcare fraud scheme in Los Angeles.
Following the announcement, Trump said on Truth Social that he would designate Vance as the administration’s “fraud czar.”
According to Trump, Vance’s focus will be “EVERYWHERE,” but with a particular focus on states governed by Democrats.
“Vice President JD Vance is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’ in the United States,” Trump wrote. “We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money.”
The president described the fraud issues in the U.S. as “massive and pervasive,” indicating that the implications for the country are significant. As fraud czar, “the job (Vance) will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration, will be a major factor in how great the future of our Country will be,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance
“The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget,” Trump said, highlighting the work Vance already has done in California, adding, “Raids have already started in L.A.” He concluded: “Good Luck JD!”
The president had already appointed Vance to lead the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, which is a government-wide initiative aimed at cracking down on fraud in federal benefit programs. However, Trump’s informal designation of Vance as “fraud czar” underscores the importance he places on the task force and his confidence in Vance’s ability to accomplish the mission, Fox News Digital reported.
The announcement also came shortly after Trump removed Pam Bondi from her position at the Department of Justice, a decision that legal analyst and Georgetown University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said hit Washington, D.C. like a “thunderclap.” A few weeks before that, Trump removed Kristi Noem has head of the Department of Homeland Security.
A week ago, Vance warned that large scale fraud targeting federal programs is far more
A week ago, Vance warned that large-scale fraud targeting federal programs is far more pervasive than previously understood, as he convened the first meeting of the new White House task force aimed at rooting out abuse across multiple states and agencies.
Speaking at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, Vance pointed to a major fraud case in Minnesota as evidence of a broader national problem, suggesting that similar schemes may be draining billions of taxpayer dollars from federally funded programs nationwide.
“What we’re seeing in Minneapolis, it is replayed again and again and again across many different states and across many different programs,” Vance said. “It has to stop. The president of the United States has ordered us to stop it, and that’s what this task force is going to do.”
The newly formed Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, announced by President Donald Trump during his State of the Union address, is tasked with developing a coordinated federal strategy to identify and prevent misuse of government funds. The initiative marks a central component of the administration’s domestic agenda, particularly as concerns over federal spending and program integrity intensify ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
