Trump Calls Vance the ‘Fraud Czar.’ Here’s What We Know About the Role
Time.com ^ | 4-3-26 | Chantelle Lee

President Donald Trump said Friday that VP J.D. Vance “is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’... In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed that fraud “is massive and pervasive” in the U.S. and said of Vance that “the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration....” “We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’” Trump continued, “ his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ ... in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money. The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget.” The President did not offer evidence for these assertions.

The Vice President’s office referred TIME to an Executive Order Trump signed on March 16 to establish an anti-fraud task force to “coordinate and accelerate a comprehensive national strategy to stop fraud, waste, and abuse within Federal benefit programs....

Fraud is in Blue states. But BIG FRAUD is in both Red & Blue States, the bipartisan SWAMP. Vance should use the expertise of in the red states to find the BIG FRAUD.

Deloitte IES enrolls the poor in Medicaid, CHPS, SNAP, WIC, TANF, Sec8, LIHEAP, etc in 25 states...mostly the big states...ME VT RI MA NY PA NJ FL GA TN KY IN IL MI AR LA TX NM CO WY MT ND OR CA..not MN. Not only is Deloitte the BIG FRAUDSTER...Deloitte enables the fraud of the others.

Vance & Colin McDonald need to listen to Nick Shirley & Big Balls Coristine that parts of fraud investigation could be CROWDSOURCED. There are many of us who have worked in the welfare system and can describe the fraud at multiple levels of detail and generalization.

Time columnist Lee says "President did not offer evidence for these assertions (savings to balance the budget). The savings exist if looking at the ENTIRE SWAMP and not just at part of it. And the big savings are in the multi-state FRAUD in the IT systems and not only single state fraud at the bottom.

Perfect opportunity for JD to shine. Target-rich environment, good timing, and he’s not Pam Bondi

Time. Used to be a magazine. They still around? Huh.

They seem very concerned about VP Vance going after fraud. Wonder why.

The President did not offer evidence for these assertions.

That's really funny. I don't remember anyone "offering evidence" for Russiagate, or the FISA warrants. Other than evidence fabricated by Hillary Clinton, that is.

Elon musk..DOGE....

The supreme Court is going to uphold invaders getting birthright citizenship. IT’S OVER.

Just sayin’.

If Vance sends some Democrats to jail for being involved in widespread fraud, then I think he is likely to be the next president.

If Vance dicks around and drags one or two Somalis into court, then I think his political career is over.

This is it. Put up or Shut up. He’s been handed a great opportunity. Will he blow it?

Let’s hope ‘everywhere’ includes the stock market, which is rife with fraud

All happily funded by them all in their stupid CRs and massive budgets.

Both parties screw us. The Dems are just better at theft.

You’re right about the Supreme Court : there is no chance of them making the right decision on that case but JD might actually go after some fraud since it’s in his own self interest if he plans on running for president some day

Right. Musk and DOGE was the first thing that came to my mind when I read of Vance being the “FRAUD CZAR”.

Just the latest gimmick.

If the name Deloitte comes up in fraud charges, we will be down to the Big 3 in Accounting, no matter how much separation there might be between the consulting firm and the auditors.

I bet Arthur Andersen is still spinning in his grave, and that blow-up happened a generation ago.

I will believe it means something when big names are in handcuffs. Otherwise it’s only PR before the midterms.

Time is SO INFURIATING. It’s always the same reflexive, knee-jerk crap: “Trump claimed…” and “The President did not offer evidence for these assertions…”

It is simply willful ignorance.

Nor is he the incompetent, feckless, do-nothing “Border Czar” Harris.

I know. I mean, wouldn’t the default position be to assume fraud? That is my stand on this. Why? A lifetime of observing human nature.
