Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Tuesday the establishment of a National Fraud Enforcement Division within the Department of Justice, signaling an accelerated effort by the Trump administration to combat fraud and abuse of public funds.

"Ninety-three additional prosecutors will be deployed to combat fraud crimes through fraud crime enforcement divisions in every region of the country," Blanche told reporters.

"Thanks to the leadership of this administration, fraudsters, tax evaders, and liars who seek to enrich themselves by exploiting the generosity of the American people should all be put on notice," Blanche stated.

Blanche also announced that the Department of Justice is involved in numerous ongoing fraud investigations and is working closely with the Fraud Prevention Task Force, led by Vice President JD Vance.

"There are over 8,000 fraud cases currently under investigation, and these cases represent only a fraction of the fraud that occurs in our country... Our division is working closely with the fraud eradication task force to enhance our efforts to combat fraud," he said.

The current administration anticipates saving hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money by eradicating just the fraud involving federal funds that is prevalent nationwide.
