Vice President JD Vance announced this week that the administration is creating a new Assistant Attorney General position with nationwide jurisdiction to take on large-scale fraud schemes that have been bleeding American taxpayers dry. The post, Vance said, will be run out of the White House and tasked with coordinating an interagency effort to root out fraud in federally funded programs.
This is not abstract rhetoric; Vance made clear the effort will begin in Minnesota, where investigators have uncovered brazen scams involving fake daycares, sham autism clinics, and other schemes that siphoned off federal dollars meant for children and vulnerable families. Running the office from the White House rather than through the traditional DOJ hierarchy underscores the administration’s desire for swift, accountable action rather than bureaucratic delay.
Conservative Americans should be furious, because the evidence released so far shows taxpayers were robbed on an industrial scale while radical local officials looked the other way. Reporting has documented dozens of indictments, scores of convictions, and thousands of subpoenas and interviews as investigators peel back the fraud; this is the kind of concentrated criminality that demands a concentrated federal response.
Minnesota’s corruption scandal reads like a tragic parable of what happens when permissive state policies meet bad actors determined to exploit generous benefits programs. From Feeding Our Future’s multihundred-million-dollar theft to empty daycare centers collecting millions, hardworking Americans deserve accountability and restitution, not excuses from establishment defenders.
Let’s be clear: this is also a failure of Democrat governance at the state level, where lax oversight and ideological softness on enforcement created the opening for criminals to feast on taxpayer funds. Vance and the White House are right to push a national solution — if state leaders won’t protect citizens’ dollars, the federal government must step in and restore integrity.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has pledged swift confirmation for the nominee, which is exactly what Americans expect when evidence shows fraud on such a large scale. Republicans should use every tool to move quickly, secure convictions, and recover stolen funds so taxpayers see real consequences rather than political theater.
Patriots across this country should demand the same standards of accountability in every state where federal programs are being abused. This new Assistant Attorney General role can be a turning point: prosecute the thieves, reform the systems they exploited, and send a clear message that conservative governance will defend taxpayers and protect the vulnerable from those who would prey on them.
