On May 26, 2026, the White House published the release Trump Administration’s Full-Scale War on Fraud detailing some key actions/victories taken by the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud which was established by EO 14395 on March 16, 2026 (discussed in my March 17, 2026 ANP Article). The Task Force's purpose is to root out waste, abuse, and criminal exploitation of government programs. The release provides examples of what the Task Force has accomplished since its inception:
In April 2026, hundreds of additional hospice and home health providers across California were suspended; over a dozen people were charged in a $50 million hospice fraud scheme; a fraudster in California pleased guilty to $270 million in false reimbursement claims; DOJ confirms 8,000 active fraud cases currently; the Task Force discovered $6.3 billion in suspected fraudulent government contracts immediately triggering a sweeping investigation; another 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies in Los Angeles, California were suspended; 20 Minnesota businesses were served criminal warrants over SNAP fraud; DOJ announced the National Fraud Enforcement Division found $340 million worth of fraud in its first week of existence; SBA found $22 billion in fraudulent or delinquent pandemic-era loans; targeted enforcement operations were conducted in Minnesota at almost 2 dozen childcare centers; DOJ established a West Coast Strike Force team to investigate healthcare fraud in Arizona, Nevada, and northern California; and $91 million in Medicaid funds were deferred from Minnesota because they are not cooperating with the fraud investigations.
President Trump and his Administration vow to continue this effort to expose fraud and reclaim the monies fraudulently taken from US Taxpayers.
Then, on May 26, 2026, Vice President JD Vance, Chairman of the President's White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud met with 15 State Attorneys General, including AGs from Connecticut and Oregon, for a roundtable on Anti-Fraud initiatives. Vice President Vance began his introduction reiterating some of the achievements of the Task Force I have listed above. Vice President Vance states:
We're protecting the American taxpayers who shouldn't have their money stolen by fraudsters. And of course, we're protecting the people who need these services. Fraud is not a victimless crime. This is not somebody gets to make some money for violating the law and otherwise it's not a big deal. This is people who rely on critical services, students who rely on student loan services, sick people who reply who rely on hospice care, a number of small businesses who rely on the availability of these loans so that they can grow their business and hire people. All of these people, all of our fellow Americans have been taken advantage by fraudsters and the task force is here to stop it.
Mr. Andrew Ferguson, who served as a Solicitor General of Virginia fighting the autopen administration to protect our border, our religious liberty, and our right to keep and bear arms spoke next. Mr. Ferguson states:
Our benefits programs and our whole society was designed for a high trust people. American the American people rightly expect that their fellow citizens will deal with them and with the government honestly and fairly. That's why for up until the last decade or so, shelves in our grocery stores and our pharmacies were open and readily accessible. We weren't accustomed to seeing security guards outside of banks or jewelry stores. We didn't have to worry about organized retail theft or industrial scale scammers of the type you all protect your citizens from every day. Nor did we have to worry about fraudsters raiding our benefits program. But sadly, that is no longer true. It's become clear that huge groups of people in this country are taking advantage of our long-standing culture of trust to enrich themselves at the expense of the American people.
Mr. Ferguson finds that the government must act to protect Americans and our social programs from the huge segments of the population that have decided to take advantage of the generosity and trust of Americans through deception and fraud. Mr. Ferguson explained to the State AGs that the reason they have been invited is because we must restore deterrence by finding, prosecuting, and punishing fraudsters, and that will take the combined efforts of everyone. He wants all the State AGs to work with the new DOJ National Fraud Enforcement Division and the Homeland Security Council to combat this rampant fraud. Mr. Ferguson told the State AGs that HHS will be conducting a thorough review of Medicaid Fraud Units at the State level. Mr. Ferguson ended by saying fraud is bleeding these programs dry making it so American Citizens can not use the programs they have been paying for for years.
Mr. Steven Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor, was next to speak. He pointed out that the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud has worked quickly to stop, disrupt, and prevent fraud. He explained that all the social systems of our country were set up on the honor system (we take your word for it based on what you put on the application). But a large number of people are not abiding by our honor code and not abiding by our laws. Mr. Miller ended his remarks by stating:
You are seeing the most muscular, robust, aggressive, dedicated, determined, and speedy effort to shut down criminal fraud that has not only ever occurred in the history of this country, but in any developed nation. So, thank you.
Mr. Stephen Colin, Assistant Attorney General for Fraud Enforcement, followed Mr. Miller. Mr. Colin announced that in just 50 days 450 major fraud events occurring across the country are in the judicial process from initial charges to convictions to sentences. He states:
When an individual's money is stolen, that individual takes it personally and does everything they can to recover their money. This task force, under the vice president's leadership, is here to take it personally. Every time someone decides to rob the United States of their money, we are here to take it personally. When someone decides to take money from a program designed to give money, food, health care to the needy, the sick, and the elderly, that is what the fraud division is here to do. It's to take it personally for you, the United States of America, when your money is stolen.
Mr. Colin mentioned some of the incidents reported in the White House release detailed above. He reminds us that this fraud is occurring nationally and it will take the National Fraud Enforcement Division in conjunction with State partnerships to solve the fraud crisis. He identifies 3 things State AGs can do to help:
Fully maximize your state's Medicaid fraud control units (once remade, they can be renamed Making Fraud Completely Unprofitable Unit (MAKFUKU) becoming the country's first line of defense against Medicare Fraud.
Join the DOJ's newly launched Special Attorneys Program which will provide grants for State AGs to send attorneys to join the fraud division or your local US Attorney's office. In addition to having the full cost of prosecutors you send to the DOJ, you can also receive a 20% premium to boost your justice system staffing and capacity enabling your state to prosecute more fraud cases more quickly.
Bring your state investigators and data to the table. The DOJ needs your documents and witnesses to successfully prosecute those who commit fraud against our government. The expertise of your investigators and your State's data, including Medicaid payment and claims records are essential.
Vice President Vance then gave closing remarks before the press was dismissed and their roundtable meeting began. He cited an incident that happened in Minneapolis, saying:
These are not victimless crimes. Sometimes the most vulnerable people in our community are the ones who suffer when we don't take fraud seriously. One of the cases that was part of Collins series of indictments last week in Minnesota stood out to me and I think highlights how particularly egregious some of these fraudsters can be. And it's about a man who was supposed to be providing services to allow elderly people to live full and independent lives. And what happened instead is that the man who was supposed to provide these services reimbursed by the Medicaid program was providing nothing. no services, no help, no check-ins. And the very man, the vulnerable elderly man that he was supposed to be protecting and looking after was reimbursed by the taxpayer in order to do exactly that, that man died. And one day before he died, after months of being neglected by the caretaker who was getting reimbursed by the American people, one day before he died, he submitted his final reimbursement for services he never provided for a man he never cared for. And that man lived his final moments on this earth neglected while a fraudster got rich by providing services that he never actually provided. That's what we're trying to stop, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we have to fight back against. It's a shame that anything like that happens, but if it does happen, the only way to protect those people and the only way to protect the American taxpayer is to ensure that the fraudsters go to prison and that they stop this ridiculous scam on the American people. So, with that, I'm looking forward to the meeting.

A new civil complaint Harry Dunn [and Daniel Hodges] v. TRUMP (Scott Bessent) docket # 1:26-cv-01719 filed in District Court, D. District of Columbia on May 20, 2025 about Weaponization fund where two Capitol Police officers who were attacked by rioters on January 6th seek to block the issuance of payouts related to a $1.776 billion fund for so-called victims of the past administration's "weaponization" of the law as a political tool. The civil complaint challenges the fund in several ways, including under the 14th Amendment and purported emotional harm. The complaint seeks the following relief:
An order under 5 U.S.C. § 706 holding unlawful and setting aside Defendant Blanche’s action creating the Anti-Weaponization Fund;
An order under 5 U.S.C. § 706 holding unlawful and setting aside Defendant Blanche’s and Defendant Bessent’s actions certifying payment of $1.776 billion from the Judgment Fund to the Anti-Weaponization Fund;
An order under 5 U.S.C. § 706 holding unlawful and setting aside Defendant Blanche’s action authorizing the Fund to assume the debts and obligations of insurrectionists on behalf of the United States;
Insofar as any transfer of funds from the Judgment Fund to the Anti-Weaponization Fund has already occurred, an order enjoining Defendants to reverse that transfer;
An order enjoining Defendants from making payments out of the Anti-Weaponization Fund to any claimant;
An order declaring Defendants’ conduct unlawful, in excess of statutory jurisdiction and authority, and unconstitutional;
An award of Plaintiffs’ costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees; and
Such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Plaintiffs demand a jury trial.
Plaintiffs are represented by the Public Integrity Project based in DC.
The case was assigned to Judge Richard J Leon.
Obviously, they did not read the settlement (discussed in my May 26, 2026 ANP Article) between President Trump and the IRS where the settlement created The Anti-Weaponization Fund (not Defendant Blanche) in order to settle the lawsuit bought by President Trump. It can only be challenged by Plaintiffs, Defendants, and the US involved in the lawsuit against the IRS. The plaintiffs filed this in activist judge headquarters in Washington DC, so, I expect the DC court to find for the plaintiff, then the Defendants to appeal.
As I was searching for an unbiased video on this topic, the one I posted below was the closest I could find to presenting both sides of the topic, and even then, you can see the bias. It is not a "slush fund." It is money that President Trump "won" in his lawsuit against the IRS that he deferred to the DOJ for the purpose of making whole those who were the subject of the weaponization of government.
Those are some of the exact words used by Google’s censors, aka 'Orwellian content police,' in describing many of our controversial stories. Stories later proven to be truthful and light years ahead of the mainstream media. But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
