YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday announced the Justice Department has charged 455 defendants for alleged health care fraud involving over $6.5 billion.

"This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history," he told reporters at a briefing.

The Justice Department said the defendants, including 90 doctors and other licensed medical professionals, submitted false claims to Medicare, Medicaid and other health care programs as part of the scheme.

"We're taking back the money, the luxury cars, the jewelry and these alleged fraudsters will face justice," the acting AG said.

The cases stem from the Trump administration's establishment earlier this year of a new task force to combat fraud.
