President Trump Just Gave Vice President JD Vance A New Role!

This is a much-needed role.

And who better to do it!

During his State of the Union address, President Trump announced that he has assigned Vice President JD Vance to lead the administration’s war on fraud.

KARE 11 gave further context to Trump’s announcement:

The president, during the State of the Union address Tuesday night, touted what he’s done in his first year back in office, touching on the economy, elections, and immigration enforcement.

He also zeroed in on Minnesota, saying there is corruption plundering the state and that Vice President JD Vance would lead a “War on Fraud” to stop it.

“When it comes to the corruption that is plundering, it really, it’s plundering America, there’s been no more stunning example than Minnesota,” President Trump said.

The president made comments about Minnesota’s Somali population, specifically calling them “pirates.” He also said that $19 billion has been fraudulently taken from American taxpayers, a number far higher than the $9 billion that federal prosecutors have indicated.

Trump said that the “War on Fraud” has been going on for the past four months, but at the State of the Union he officially announced it would be led by the Vice President.

Here’s the moment Trump made the announcement:

Trump’s announcement couldn’t have come at a better time.

In December of last year, investigative reporter Nick Shirley exposed massive fraud happening in Minnesota.

In case you haven’t seen his viral video of exposing the fraud in real time, here it is:

Minnesota isn’t the only state that is a hotbed for fraud.

ABC 7 News recently reported millions of taxpayers’ dollars in California are going to “ghost students”:

We are losing millions of tax dollars right now to what are known as “ghost students” — online scammers who enroll in community colleges and get away with financial aid meant for actual students from the Bay Area.

I-Team reporter Dan Noyes worked on a joint investigation with ABC News.

These ghost student scammers mainly come from overseas, and they are a problem throughout California and across the country. They often use artificial intelligence to expand their reach and evade fraud detection controls.

Admissions staff for San Jose’s community colleges are stretched thin trying to catch ghost students who use stolen or fake identities to enroll in classes and obtain financial aid. The online scammers have had a real impact.

“We would have courses where we’d have 50 seats and another 100+ on a waiting list,” San Jose-Evergreen Community College District Chancellor Dr. Beatriz Chaidez told the I-Team.”And we would find that maybe six of those actual enrollees were students and the rest were fraudulent accounts, ghost students.”
