President Donald Trump is putting cash behind his crackdown on taxpayer fraud, preparing to offer Americans rewards for tips that help bring fraudsters to justice.
Trump and Vice President JD Vance will unveil a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) during a Tuesday afternoon announcement with the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in the Oval Office, a White House official told Fox News Digital.
WHIP will offer eligible tipsters up to $30,000 if their information leads to a successful fraud conviction or a significant federal enforcement action, the official said.
Trump also plans to present independent journalist Nick Shirley with a $10,000 check for his work exposing suspected fraud in Minnesota, according to the official.
"Every day, President Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud is zeroing in on the rampant abuse of taxpayer dollars and giving Americans the accountability they deserve. This administration has zero tolerance for individuals who steal from Americans," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.
The Justice Department will administer the new program, and Americans will be able to submit tips through fraud.gov, the official said. The initiative aims to encourage both independent journalists and everyday Americans to flag suspected fraud involving taxpayer money.
Shirley drew national attention in December 2025 after publishing a video questioning whether several Somali-run Minnesota daycare centers were operating as legitimate businesses. His video showed apparently empty facilities and included people who said they had not seen children at the locations.

Nice.

If Nick Shirley gets 10K for what he did, what do you have to do get 30?
Omar is the one who married her brother.
Intersting. President Trump pays money to whistleblowers who uncover fraud, and Newsom criminalizes whistleblowers who uncover fraud.
It’s the democrat way!
When do I get paid?
“Trump also plans to present independent journalist Nick Shirley with a $10,000 check for his work exposing suspected fraud”
Nice, but but that’s a paltry sum for the incredible work Shirley has done to drag all the MSM into doing a bit of reporting on the fraud, exposing it to Congress, and motivating many other independent citizen journalists.
President Trump should award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a $1 million prize. I’m sure Shirley would use the money to hire a bigger team and root out even more fraud. The man is absolutely fearless and driven.
You get paid after those you expose are convicted in federal court. Keep going.
Nick Shirley should be the next Anderson Cooper, except for interning at CNN, being Gloria Vanderbilt’s kid and being a fag.
Omar's immigration issue is analogous to James Comey's 8647 issue. BOTH are DEFLECTIONS from their MORE SERIOUS crimes such as LAUNDERING HEALTH CARE FRAUD MONEY THROUGH A BOGUS WINERY REPLETE WITH EMPTY WINE BARRELS and FOMENTING THE 'TRUMP-RUSSIA' COLLUSION HOAX REPLETE WITH A KNOWINGLY FALSE DOSSIER FUNDED BY HILLARY, respectively.
If Omar isn't ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED for being the RINGLEADER* OF MASSIVE FRAUD RINGS in Minnesota, I'll be LIVID !!!!! WHY did Ilhan CHANGE her financial statements from $30M/year to mere thousands per year? BECAUSE SHE KNEW SHE'D BEEN CAUGHT IN FRAUD CRIMES, THAT'S WHY!!!! BTW, this had NOTHING TO DO with her immigration woes, either.. "The cover up is worse than the crime", right?
NOBODY SHOULD BE LED ASTRAY BY THE MEDIA WHO ARE ACTIVELY DEFLECTING FROM THESE TWO'S MORE SERIOUS TREASONOUS CRIMES. I AIN'T FALLIN' FOR IT.
* Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh (age 42) is a key leader and co-ringleader of the massive $250 million Feeding Our Future pandemic-era child nutrition fraud scheme in Minnesota. It was discovered that ONE OF HIS EMAILS ADDRESSED TO ANOTHER RING LEADER AIMEE BOCK IS ENTITLED, "ILHAN'S OFFICE".. SAY WHAT?
The children of the lady have moved into her subsidized housing. If they put her into an assisted living care facility, they will lose her subsidized rental house benefit.
An ambulance trip costs $2400. That comes to $2,102,400. Make that trip both ways, and we're up to $4,200,800.
NYC, Minnesota, Michigan might be good places to start to pay out a lot of reward money.
“THE MEDIA WHO ARE ACTIVELY DEFLECTING “
Trump is falling into the Media’s game by reflecting pool and golf course distractions.
Vance & friends had big news recently. Few saw it because ICE was busy falling for the bait put up by irritating citizens.
Maybe now that David Ellison's co. bought out CNN, Nick Shirley wouldn't have to go through the leftist brainwashing to be a CNN journalist. At least, that's what the CNN crybabies are worried about. LOL
Zackly.
NO WORD ON HOW MANY TIMES A PERSON COLLECT $10,000
ARE SUCH REWARDS TAX FREE???
