Trump and Vance to announce a $25M whistleblower program to encourage public to report alleged fraud
The program offers up to $30,000 for tips that lead to convictions or major enforcement actions, and Trump says he will decide who gets paid.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance announced a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program to encourage public reporting of suspected federal government fraud, with the Justice Department administering the initiative.
- Vice President Vance launched the antifraud task force this year to investigate misuse of government funds; the task force currently examines medical supply programs, food assistance benefits, and the Affordable Care Act.
- Under the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, or WHIP, individuals submitting tips to fraud.gov are eligible to receive up to $30,000 if their information leads to a fraud conviction or significant federal enforcement action, The White House said.
- During the Oval Office event, President Trump presented a $10,000 check to Nick Shirley, an influencer whose video last year alleged fraud in Minnesota childcare centers; the Justice Department confirmed Fahima Mahamud pleaded guilty to wire fraud in July.
- Federal inspectors previously reported that the Minnesota childcare centers were operating as expected, contrasting with the administration's aggressive fraud-elimination effort, though The White House maintains zero tolerance for individuals stealing from Americans.
