Last week, @TheJusticeDept announced the results of the Heartland Fraud Surge: more than 80 defendants and approximately $245 million in intended losses from COVID-loan fraud. Now, we’re seeing just how far that fraud can go: These types of funds allegedly helped finance the plot to ASSASSINATE Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. Fraud against American taxpayers doesn’t stop at the balance sheet. foxnews.com/us/suspects-hait…

Every vote counts. Fraudsters beware.
DOJ announced charges for 16 individuals for ILLEGAL VOTING, illegal voter registration, and related election-fraud schemes across the country. If you are not allowed to vote in our elections, you shouldn’t. And if you do, that’s a CRIME. This isn’t a partisan issue!

Our mission is clear: protect taxpayer funds, safeguard the integrity of federal relief programs, and deliver justice to those who exploited them. The Department of Justice will continue expanding our reach across the country to pursue ALL fraud—no matter how large or how small.

DOJ Secures Agreements with NYU and UPMC to End Pediatric “Gender-Affirming Care” “The Department of Justice is fighting to protect our nation’s children and working tirelessly to reach agreements with hospitals to end so-called ‘gender affirming care’ for minors,” said @AGToddBlanche. “Today’s resolutions send a clear message: hospitals that target children in these practices and then fraudulently obtain payment for the procedures will be held to account.” Read more: justice.gov/opa/pr/doj-secur…

Great win for @POTUS, @TheJusticeDept, and the American taxpayers. Who would be against such a common sense initiative to make a National Fraud Enforcement Division permanent?
BREAKING: A major win for President Trump as the House votes 352–72 to codify his DOJ Fraud Division, strengthening the crackdown on fraudsters stealing taxpayer dollars through federal programs and benefits. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Voter fraud among foreign nationals remains a serious issue in the United States. @TheJusticeDept will continue to protect ALL American votes.
.@TheJusticeDept is cleaning up voter fraud every day. Today, a Nigerian national living in Lynn Massachusetts was arrested for unlawfully voting in the 2022 midterm elections, and also allegedly voted in the 2024 Presidential Primary Election. Voter fraud is real, and this administration will not tolerate attempts to undermine the integrity of our elections.

🚨MORE CALIFORNIA FRAUD 🚨 This morning, @TheJusticeDept arrested two fraudsters in the Los Angeles area involved in significant federal homelessness corruption and fraud cases. One fraudster is the founder of a Culver City-based nonprofit who allegedly misappropriated more than $7.5 million in taxpayer funds for commercial real estate and to finance the construction of a nightclub and bingo hall. @AAGMcDonald, @USAttyEssayli, and @WHFraudTF are bringing the hammer down.
