April 3 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Friday said Vice President JD Vance will focus on investigating fraud in Democratic-run states in his new role as “fraud czar.”
“His focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social, singling out California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine and New York.
Trump said “raids have already started” in Los Angeles, without providing details.
Trump signed an executive order last month launching a national task force led by Vance aimed at proving the president’s claims that federal funds intended for social-welfare programs are being stolen in some states.
