United States President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order in the coming days appointing Vice President JD Vance to lead a new White House anti-fraud task force targeting welfare abuses in California and other states, CBS News reported on Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the plans.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman Andrew Ferguson is set to serve as vice chair and oversee day-to-day operations. The task force would also include Colin McDonald, Trump's pick for a newly created role of Justice Department assistant attorney general for national fraud enforcement position, working closely with Vance and Ferguson while reporting within the Department of Justice (DOJ) leadership under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Sources said the initiative could bypass existing DOJ fraud units.
The move follows reports of billions of dollars in alleged fraud across unemployment, pandemic aid, and healthcare programs, particularly in California. CBS said the timing of Trump's signature could still change before the month ends.
