President Trump announced on Truth Social that Vice President JD Vance will be called the nation's "fraud czar," elevating his role leading the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud created by executive order and saying the crackdown will be focused "everywhere" but primarily in blue states. The move coincides with coordinated federal raids in Los Angeles on hospice providers accused of Medicare fraud — one probe involving roughly $7 million and prompting the suspension of 221 California hospice and home‑health providers — a development the administration frames as part of a broader $50M+ fraud fight that has drawn pushback from state officials.
