Trump launches anti-fraud task force to be led by Vance

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday launching a national task force led by ​Vice President JD Vance aimed at proving Trump's claims that federal funds ‌intended for social-welfare programs are being stolen in some states.
Trump had previously tasked Vance with leading administration efforts to investigate fraud in Minnesota. The order signed on Monday designated that the task ​force look into fraud allegations across the country. Trump has repeatedly invoked a ​scandal that dates back to 2020 in Minnesota in which 47 ⁠people were accused of defrauding $250 million from a state-run, federally funded child nutrition program.
