The White House is reportedly considering Colin McDonald, an aide in the deputy attorney general’s office, to lead a new Justice Department fraud division. Separately, DOJ has asked the Pentagon to provide military judge advocates as short‑term special assistant U.S. attorneys and forensic auditors to help handle COVID‑era welfare fraud probes in Minnesota after a wave of AUSA departures, a request backed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
