Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday announced the creation of a National Fraud Enforcement Division at the Department of Justice, marking a significant step in the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on misuse of public funds.
"There will be an additional 93 prosecutors in every district across the country devoted to the mission of combating fraud with the National Fraud Enforcement Division," he told reporters.
"Because of this administration's leadership, fraudsters, scammers, tax cheats, or anyone who lies to get rich off the generosity of the American people should be on notice," Blanche said.
Blanche, moreover, announced that the DOJ was involved in a litany of ongoing fraud cases and that the agency was working closely with the anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance.
"We currently have over 8,000 fraud matters underway," he said. "These cases represent a fraction of the fraud ripping off our country... This Department, working closely with the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, is supercharging efforts."

As long as the US government is gargantuan beyond belief, this is whack-a-mole.
Shrink the US government by 75% and it ceases to be a lucrative target. Then your Enforcement Division could shrink by 90%.
I hope this focus on fraud will be looking in to the Government officials that have diligently protected the fraud.
Fraud of this magnitude, scope and scale does not exist for as long as it has without being noticed by those in government whose job it is to notice.
The problem is, guess who gets to determine who in on the ‘Division’. And who their targets are. I still don’t trust this Blanche guy any further than I can throw the Empire State building.
I voted for this.
Lots of churning, not much in the way of results.
Every agency that doles out money should be stopping until they’ve verified the recipients are not fraudsters. What has been allowed to happen is just insane.
Wouldn’t “National Fraud PREVENTION Division” be a better name?
Who’s in charge of PR there?
But God bless their intent here. Evolution of DOGE. Would like to see regular communication as to discoveries and prosecution.
I was visiting a friend across town a few days ago (So Cal) - she said she counted up the number of hospice services just in her area and counted 23 hospice storefronts.
There is massive hospice fraud in California, which the AG Bonta has ignored - too busy suing Trump - and Newsom isn’t smart enough to catch on.
Tip of the proverbial iceberg... and has been going on for years if not decades:
“California has uncovered a major hospice fraud scheme involving $267 million in false billing.”
“A federal crackdown dubbed ‘Operation Never Say Die’ led to eight arrests and 15 charges related to $50 million in fraudulent claims.”
“April 2026, Essayli’s office arrested eight individuals, including doctors and nurses, in connection with a $50 million hospice fraud operation”
Thanks to Bil Essayli, First Assistant U.S. Attorney, who is leading a federal crackdown on massive Medi-Cal and Medicare fraud schemes in California, characterizing the state as the ‘kingdom of fraud’ due to what he describes as lax oversight and “’emptied prisons.’”
He, Blanche, has been the one running DOJ all this time, while Pam continued living in Florida...
Change will only happen with Harmeet or Zeldin. One's personal impression is that Zeldin is perhaps too nice a guy... Harmeet, OTOH, seems to have been raised with a sort of fearless outlook.
JMNTSHO, YMMAPWV.
Sadly, those grifters all feel entitled to their ill gotten gains after getting it for so long and will go all dem screaming and wailing and stomping their feet. And some judge will rule in their favor............
I just turned someone in for 5 years of Medicaid fraud. She was working for cash the whole time. Sent straight to her bank account. Come to find out recipients do their own income statement once a year to recertify and medicaid just takes them at their word. Unbelievable.
I just turned someone in for 5 years of Medicaid fraud.
Well we’ll see what happens. They should at least require bank statements or something from them. Not just a form signed by them stating $0 income. That’s ridiculous.
“Every agency that doles out money”
How about we just stop THAT!?
I’m listening to a book “Who Killed Jane Stanford?” She was the widow of Leland Stanford, one of the “Big Four” who built the Central Pacific Railroad and later governor of California. The levels of corruption in the “Gilded Age” were high, but probably nowhere near as high as we have today.
Back then, the US Treasury was small and there was no income tax. The government was only making money available to open the West and build railroads. There weren’t thousands or tens of thousands of programs to be looted and raided. But, even so, people figured out how to loot the treasury! Wherever government collects money, fraudsters, cheats, scoundrels, and mountebanks emerge.
A small thing like yours is where it begins. They will talk about it.
An entry door lock won’t stop a hardened criminal but does stop easy crimes of opportunity.
Luk_16:10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.
If the DOJ can't already enforce the federal laws or get convictions, especially for treason (because the federal judges are largely corrupt and the juries are made up of DEI woketardian scum), then this cornucopia of new "Crime Enforcement Divisions" won't even do squat!!!
“Shrink the US government by 75% and it ceases to be a lucrative target”
Agreed. 1) Whistleblowers, private groups like OpenTheBooks.com should be used. n Much of Fraud investigation can be crowdsourced and Big Balls in DOGE suggested.
2) The definition fraud should be clarified. In welfare programs the recipients and providers to recipients can commit fraud. But State & Federal CONTRACTORS/VENDORS can commit the same fraud as Providers & Vendors but are not specified in the definitons of FRAUD.
3) The SWAMP employees and contractors that are both FRAUDulent and enable the FRAUD of others should be a priority target.
4) HHS is the biggest budget and the biggest area of FRAUD.
5) Deloitte IES enrolls the poor in Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, WIC, TANF, Sec8, LIHEAP in 25 states... mostly the big states... ME VT RI MA NY PA NJ FL GA TN KY OH MI IN IL AR LATX NM CO WY MT ND OR CA...NOT MN. Deloitte IES is the biggest fraud.
6) Deloitte IES has the DEAD on welfare. LEGACY.COM and state vital records list the dead. Most of the DEAD are elderly and also on Social Security. Thus these dead are FRAUD of both State and Federal money.
7) Deloitte IES has DUPlicates on welfare. Sue Smith, Susan Smith, Susan Jones-Smith have the same DOB, SSN, address and are the same person. But they have 3 Deloitte IES ID and 3 benefit plans. This is fraud.
8) Deloitte IES EMPI Enterprise Master Person Index does not meet any definition of Master Person Index and is therefore a fraud.
9) Deloitte IES does no cleaning and standardization of Address. This results in many DUPS.
10) Deloitte IES has no logical way to handle DEI data. It could have a 3 tier table. Top) Asian, Middle) E. Asian Bottom) Japanese, Korean, Chinese. Or is could eliminate DEI as “UNKNOWN” is 1/3 of the answers & this makes the data statistically absurd.
11) Both Deloitte, other IT vendors, Health Insurance companies, Nursing Homes and others are paid CAPITATION for each DEAD person, each DUP. This is FRAUD.
12) Staff of Federal & State agencies, Deloitte, Optum, Accenture, Gainwell and other IT Vendors & Health Insurance companies & others have much inefficiency & waste processing the garbage data from Deloitte.
13) Other IT vendors, Providers and recipients YIELD TO THE TEMPTATION of exploiting the garbage data of Deloitte. If the IG catches them (which is rare) they can blame their billing service, refund the excess and consider it a no-interest loan.
14) INTENTIONAL FRAUDSTERS exploit the errors and inconsistencies and garbage Deloitte data thru shell companies. When the shell company is caught it no longer exists and the perpetrators are difficult and expensive to catch and prosecute.
15) KFF NEWS and others have documented other FRAUD of Deloitte in GA Pathways and other places.
16) Deloitte and Deloitte IES are the biggest abuser of H1bIndians. Some of those H1b have no understanding of US (or GA) law and customs. Some of those H1b are incompetent to hold the IT positions they draw money from.
17) The Somali, the Chinese providers and recipients are at the bottom of the food chain. Until the likes of Deloitte are eliminated from fraudulent systems it will be expensive and inefficient to anecdotally chase the small fry at the bottom.
18) Deloitte IES was designed in the Obama era to respond to the massive expansion of welfare by Obama. In 2013-2014 the CIO of GA DCH & Medicaid went to great lengths to get Deloitte to properly design and develop IES as it was “his” money that was being spent...although the Deloitte contract was with GA DHS and not GA DCH. Deloitte did not fight based on facts and logic. It won in the swamp based on “connections”.
Blanche is a rat. He will steer this away from the exposing the cut the Dems got and they got A LOT.
