Trump: Vance will primarily focus on blue states as ‘fraud czar’

The task force has already led to 8 arrests and 221 facility suspensions, officials said, as Trump expands fraud enforcement in blue states.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump named Vice President JD Vance as the administration's new "fraud czar," directing him to primarily target Democratic-controlled states for alleged misuse of taxpayer funds.
  • Trump established this anti-fraud task force via executive order in mid-March, with federal authorities raiding Los Angeles hospice and healthcare providers early Thursday morning.
  • The crackdown on Los Angeles resulted in eight arrests and the suspension of 221 facilities over 10 weeks, officials said.
  • A Vance spokesperson told Fox News on Thursday that the "Administration's War on Fraud" continues yielding results, with the task force expecting suspension numbers to grow dramatically.
  • Trump stated operations will focus "primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS" are in charge, naming California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine, and New York as targets.
