YouTube Description
as posted by the channelActing U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche says the Justice Department is officially launching its new National Fraud Enforcement Division.
He says the focus is on prosecuting fraud in taxpayer programs, such as in health care and food benefits, and that the Trump administration won't spare any resources in the Justice Department’s effort to takedown fraudsters.
Critics have said this new division is redundant to divisions at the DOJ that have done this work for years, but Blanche says the effort will be comprehensive and involve coordination across the whole government.
