In the month of June, Vice President JD Vance’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud racked up several wins for American taxpayers. 

“No matter what, the Task Force on Fraud will not let up,” a Vance spokesperson told the Daily Signal. “Fighting fraud remains a priority for Vice President Vance and the entire Trump administration, and the Task Force continues to work day and night to ensure that American tax dollars are used for Americans, not for fraudsters.”

In March, President Donald Trump tapped Vance to lead the task force, with Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson serving as vice chair.

On June 4, the Trump administration cut off $3 million in federal funding for Hawaii’s Medicaid fraud control program because it had failed to bring a single indictment or conviction in the last four years. 

The Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Thomas March Bell sent a letter to Hawaii Attorney General Anne Lopez informing her that the state’s Medicaid Fraud Control ​Unit will no longer have federal certification, and HHS will no longer provide funding.

Despite receiving $12 million in federal funds from 2022 to 2025, the unit obtained zero indictments or convictions for Medicaid fraud.
