California Governor Gavin Newsom cannot account for a staggering $76 billion in fraudulent spending under his watch—and that's just the conservative estimate of what investigators have uncovered so far. As the Trump administration moves aggressively to recover stolen pandemic funds, Congresswoman Young Kim is pushing federal legislation to create a national fraud task force to combat what appears to be the largest state-level fraud operation in American history.

The Trump administration just froze 111,620 borrower accounts connected to $8.6 billion in stolen pandemic-era small business loans, according to exclusive reporting from Next News Network. But that's only what they've caught so far. Every single audit of a California program reveals billions more in theft, prompting President Trump to declare the Golden State's fraud problem worse than Minnesota's infamous child care scandal.

Fake Businesses and Stolen Billions

Congressman Kevin Kiley recently stood at a single San Diego address registered to 14 fake businesses that collectively stole $2 million in pandemic loans—money that was never repaid. Kiley called it "the tip of the iceberg" while revealing the Small Business Administration is suspending over 112,000 California borrowers connected to potentially $9 billion in fraud.

Meanwhile, investigator Nick Shirley, the man who exposed Minnesota's massive child care fraud, has landed in California to document the crisis firsthand. Trump himself confirmed California is next on the federal enforcement list.

Targeting America's Most Vulnerable

The corruption extends beyond pandemic loans. Matt Gaetz's father, Don Gaetz, appeared on One America News to expose California hospice fraud that directly mirrors the Minnesota scandal. Criminals are targeting terminally ill Americans and stealing Medicare funds meant for end-of-life care—showing just how depraved these Democrat-enabled fraud networks have become.

Rep. Young Kim's proposed legislation would establish a single director empowered to coordinate fraud investigations with state and local law enforcement nationwide—exactly the kind of decisive action needed to stop this epidemic of theft.

Newsom's Desperate Deflection

How did Newsom respond to having $76 billion in unaccounted fraud under his watch? With a profanity-laced rant calling Trump "the most destructive president in his lifetime." Meanwhile, a federal judge just blocked Newsom's law requiring ICE agents to unmask, ruling it violated federal supremacy.

Patriots, this is why we cannot let the legacy media bury these stories. Every Democrat governor needs to be held accountable for the fraud epidemic happening under their watch. The question is: are you ready to demand answers?

A national fraud task force is a great start, but what specific powers would it have to investigate state-level corruption? We need to make sure this has real teeth and isn't just political theater.

Great question - hopefully they'd have subpoena power and work with federal prosecutors. Can't let states hide behind bureaucracy anymore.

FINALLY someone with backbone is demanding accountability! How does $76 BILLION just disappear without proper oversight? This is exactly why we need to drain the swamp at every level of government.

Couldn't agree more! My family's been struggling with inflation and they're wasting our tax dollars like it's monopoly money.

I fled California 3 years ago because of this kind of corruption and mismanagement. The writing was on the wall - now the chickens are coming home to roost. Feel sorry for the honest folks still trapped there.
