VP Vance to lead California anti-fraud task force: report

by

Vice President JD Vance and other high-ranking Trump administration officials will lead a task force aimed at tackling fraud in California and other states, according to a new report.

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order in the coming days to name Vance chair of the task force, which aims to root out welfare abuses following high-profile scandals in cities like Minneapolis, sources told CBS News.

“We know that the fraud isn’t just happening in the Minneapolis,” Vance said during a recent briefing. “It’s happening in states like Ohio. It’s happening in states like California.”

Andrew Ferguson, current chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, will join Vance in overseeing the sweeping interagency effort to audit federal funds flowing into California’s social service and childcare programs.
