Vance holds first meeting of anti-fraud task force to protect taxpayer funds from exploitation

Vice President JD Vance hosted the first meeting of the President’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud on Friday at the White House, during which he and other officials spoke about the importance of rooting out fraud to restore trust among Americans who pay into these programs.

Vance said, "We think fraud has been a problem for a long time. It became a massive, massive problem under the Biden administration. We’re going to do a number of things. First of all, we’re going to turn back on those anti-fraud protections so that all of these cabinet officials are looking at what’s going on and focusing on it. The second thing is that we’re going to take a whole-of-government approach. So much of what’s going to make the anti-fraud task force work is that we’re communicating across different departments."
