A number is floating around Washington right now that should make every American stop what they're doing and pay attention: one trillion dollars. That's what Senator Eric Schmidt says may be stolen from the American taxpayer every single year through systematic fraud networks operating across multiple states.
Not accounting errors. Not bureaucratic waste. Organized, deliberate theft on a scale that would make every financial scandal in American history look like a rounding error.
And now, President Trump has officially named Vice President JD Vance to lead the War on Fraud and Anti-Corruption Task Force – handing him a mandate to investigate and prosecute the fraud networks that have been pillaging federal programs for years while the political establishment looked the other way.
The Investigation Started Four Months Ago
Here's what the corporate media isn't telling you: Trump revealed that this investigation started four months ago. Vance isn't starting from scratch. He's weaponizing an existing body of evidence that already points to fraud so massive that Trump himself said recovering it could balance the entire federal budget overnight.
"The thing is, I don't know what the top line number is," Vance confirmed. "And I think that's unfortunate that nobody has ever tried to take a systematic look at how much fraud there is in the federal government."
The Vice President didn't mince words about what's coming: the Department of Justice will be throwing fraudsters in prison. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be examining income tax records to trace how Americans have been defrauded. Vance described tools that have never been used before and confirmed the investigation will run aggressively for at least a year – with no end date.
Minnesota: Just the Tip of the Iceberg
The numbers from Minnesota alone are staggering. Trump cited $19 billion pillaged through fraudulent daycare centers and welfare schemes connected to members of the Somali community. But Minnesota is only the beginning.
California. Massachusetts. Illinois. Maine. According to the administration, these states could be potentially even worse.
"Just left a confirmation hearing for the lawyer that's going to be in charge of prosecuting all this fraud," Senator Schmidt revealed. "It could be a trillion dollars a year of fraud that's happening in this country. I just think of the guy that's working his tail off, swinging the hammer, driving the truck. He deserves better than that."
Think about what that means, Patriots. Every truck driver, every construction worker, every American playing by the rules – while billions of their tax dollars are siphoned into fraudulent programs benefiting people who shouldn't even be in this country.
The Questions Washington Doesn't Want Answered
Vance asked the questions that cut straight to the heart of the matter: How many illegal aliens are on Medicaid, drawing billions meant for American citizens? How many fraudulent daycare centers were set up, stealing money meant for American families?
"How much have government officials actually been complicit in this fraud?" Vance demanded. "Because some of them have gotten wealthy, or at the least, they've gotten campaign donations from the people who have gotten rich from that fraud."
The fraud networks Vance is about to dismantle are connected to political machines, donor networks, and immigration pipelines that powerful people on both sides have profited from for decades. If the fraud is truly large enough to balance the budget overnight, then every politician who ignored it has some serious explaining to do.
A Pit Bull With a Legal Background
This is precisely why Americans voted for Trump – not for business as usual, but for someone willing to actually fight the corruption eating this country alive. JD Vance leading this charge means we have a pit bull with a legal background going after the fraudsters while the establishment media ignores the story.
The war on fraud isn't just about recovering money. It's about restoring faith that justice still exists in America.
Vance has the keys. The evidence is in hand. The fraudsters just ran out of time.
