YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump declared a "war on fraud," but experts say it's a battle that extends to all 50 states. The Government Accountability Office estimated in January that the government loses as much as $521 billion a year to fraud. Haywood Talcove, one of the country's top government fraud experts, told USA TODAY the fraud could be as high as $1 trillion a year or more.

The Trump administration has blamed immigrants for the fraud, especially in Minnesota and other Democrat-controlled states such as California. Federal and state law enforcement executed search warrants in Minnesota early on April 28 in connection with an ongoing fraud probe that has embroiled the state, officials said.
