Trump Signs Order to Launch Vance-Led Anti-Fraud Task Force

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to launch an task force targeting federal benefits fraud to be led by Vice President JD Vance, intensifying the administration's oversight of federal funds in Democratic-led states.
Trump and allies have sought to highlight fraud allegations in blue states, most notably in Minnesota, where the president seized on criminal cases involving Somali immigrants to justify in part an immigration crackdown in the state. Monday's order aims to expand that anti-fraud scrutiny nationwide.
