U.S.Department of Agriculture(USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed the shocking number of fraud cases uncovered and stamped out by her agency in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
During a sit-down chat Friday at her department’s headquarters, Rollins shared how the Department of Government Efficiency(DOGE) helped her tackle the massive black hole of unnecessary Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP) and unrelated grant spending left over from the Biden administration.
“I can’t give enough credit to Elon Musk, who I still am in contact with today, and to the DOGE team that came in,” the secretary said. “I know some of the other agencies weren’t as excited about it. I believed it was one of the greatest, most fortunate things that happened to us.”
If President Trump had not been reelected after four years of former President Biden, Rollins said, “I don’t know that we would have ever been able to stop and uncover—to the tune of billions of dollars.”
“I mean, there was a grant that went to someone in Iowa that was studying how racism had affected the pest industry — like it was crazy, crazy stuff,” she highlighted as an example.
Another grant uncovered by the DOGE team was being sent to Louisiana researchers “studying the menstrual cycles of transgender mice,” Rollins exclaimed.

The agriculture secretary blasted the Biden administration for allowing SNAP to nearly double in its four years with “zero accountability.”
Up until Rollins’ letter to the governors, she said there had never been any data shared with the federal government from the states about whether SNAP money was being used effectively.
Republican states have complied with Rollins’ fraud-busting project, allowing the DOGE squad and other USDA employees to find around 500,000 people collecting two or more SNAP benefits, and almost 200,000 dead people still collecting benefits.

“Back in November, Rollins announced that nearly 700,000 individuals had been removed from SNAP and that about 118 alleged fraudsters had been arrested.
As of March, a whopping 3.3 million people have stopped receiving SNAP benefits since Rollins took office for reasons including fraudulently collecting benefits”
Excellent news. Thanks for posting.
i wonder if this kind of news will shut up the legions of nattering nabobs of negativism trolls attacking DOGE and Trump here?
Naaaaaaaaaaa .....

Great news. Nice to see Elon Musk and DOGE are still active in the Trump Administration.
Continue to pray for her and her family - she is right over the target.
End the fraud. End SNAP and all other government unConstitutional handouts.
I KNEW IT....al those people dying in the streets.
Here comes the headline, Trump To Cut Billions From SNAP Budget
EC
Well, for starters, 200,000 of those people are dead. So the named dead (on the SNAP records) aren’t the perps. Of course, tracking down the actual recipients can still be done, but that takes more legwork,
