Vance: Federal Government Has Identified $230 Billion In Fraud Since March
Authored by Emel Akan via The Epoch Times,
Vice President JD Vance said on Aug. 5 that the Trump administration has identified $230 billion in fraud and prevented $56 billion in fraudulent payments since the president's Fraud Task Force was established in March.
Vance discussed the task force's initiatives at a roundtable in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building attended by more than a dozen Republican lawmakers. He said the work by the task force so far is starting to show results.
"We have been able to identify $230 billion of fraud just since the Fraud Task Force was set up, and that's frankly by conservatively estimating it," Vance said.
He urged Congress to codify certain anti-fraud actions taken by the administration to ensure that they remain in effect under future administrations.
"This effort will fundamentally always have a limitation unless our colleagues in the House and the Senate are working with us," Vance said.
"We don't want the next administration ... to undo all the incredible work that we've been doing."
The vice president said one of the first steps Congress can take is to force data sharing between state and federal governments to crack down on fraud.
