WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump is going to sign an executive order on Monday to create a task force on fraud which will be lead by Vice President J.D. Vance.
Vance will join the president in the Oval Office for the signing of the order, which will highlight fraud in Minnesota, as well as other states, according to the New York Post.
Last year, YouTuber Nick Shirley went viral for going to Minnesota and filming seemingly vacant daycare centers.
He alleged that millions of taxpayer dollars were funding these daycare centers, meaning that fraud was being funded. Following the video going viral, investigations and hearings were launched into Minnesota about fraud.
A document regarding the order states, “there is strong reason to believe similar vulnerabilities exist in California, Illinois, New York, Maine, and Colorado, where insufficient safeguards and weak oversight increase the risk of large-scale fraud.”
Vance will be joined by Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson as the vice chair of the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
White House aide Stephen Miller will also be a senior adviser. Cabinet members will also be joining.

“In states across the country, fraudsters are depriving vulnerable citizens of basic social services, stealing billions of your tax dollars, and eroding America’s social fabric,” a spokesperson for Vance said.
