During the announcement of the task force, President Donald Trump signaled that states controlled by Democrats might receive heightened scrutiny.
“It seems that it’s usually in blue states,” Trump said. “If it’s in a red state, we’re going there too, but it seems that it’s heavily, heavily Democrat.”
Vance’s team plans to replicate the Minnesota model nationwide, leveraging an AI-powered system that can flag or immediately block suspicious claims before payouts occur. Previously, dis-enrolling fraudulent providers required slow, manual review by federal officials. The new system, insiders say, allows the administration to act faster as unusual billing patterns appear.
The task force is also recruiting CMS technology experts to expand the AI network across the country, according to the source.
“Vice President Vance looks forward to carrying out the President’s War on Fraud,” a Vance spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “The American people deserve better than being ripped off by people who hate this country, and the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud will ensure that essential taxpayer-funded services are used to support the hard-working Americans who rely on them, instead of being used by fraudsters and criminals.”
Minnesota has been a notorious hotspot for fraud for years, including the Feeding Our Future case linked to pandemic-era relief abuse. Federal prosecutors opened a separate investigation in 2022 under the Biden Department of Justice, later describing the nonprofit as a central figure in one of the largest pandemic fraud schemes.
The probe uncovered roughly $250 million in fraudulent claims and led to 78 indictments. Prosecutors have warned the full scope of the scheme could stretch into the billions.
Vance insists the problem extends far beyond any single state. Speaking in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, he revealed that investigations into the Twin Cities region alone have exposed “$19 billion at least” in fraud. He also pointed to California as the next major target.
“We know there’s a lot of fraud in California, and we’re trying to get to the bottom of exactly what it looks like and what we’ve done in the Trump administration,” Vance told Fox News Digital.
“And the president has really empowered us to do this, is to take the first national look at the way the American people have been defrauded over many, many years,” he added.
With AI-powered tools and a national task force in place, the Trump administration is sending a clear message: taxpayer dollars will no longer be easy prey for fraudsters, and red or blue, states can expect rigorous scrutiny.
Mr. Vice President: Hello. To-date USA citizens have not seen accountability justice for fraudulent use of Federal funds…namely, those accountable GO TO PRISON. That once shown…would be a real deterrent to criminals knowing “…don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time…” Thank you.

Hope the voters hold these criminals by not voting for them ever again. It’s just pathetic that we even have to be here. All the jails in every city continue to be filled. Another reason prisoners should work on building more jails. Overcrowded and less desire to be a corrections officer, or work in a jail. More pay, support and incentives needed. Repent. Pray in Jesus Name. Get Baptized. Then God gives the Holy Spirit for understanding. Otherwise you are lost, cannot understand, or go to Heaven.
