Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday the administration is creating a new assistant attorney general position with nationwide jurisdiction to combat fraud involving taxpayer dollars, adding that a nominee would be announced in the coming days.
Vance made the announcement during a White House briefing.
"We know that the fraud isn't just happening in Minneapolis; it's also happening in states like Ohio. It's happening in states like California," Vance said.
"What we're doing in order to help coordinate this remarkable interagency effort from the Trump administration, but also to make sure that we prosecute the bad guys, and do it as swiftly and efficiently as possible, is we are creating a new assistant attorney general position who will have nationwide jurisdiction over the issue of fraud," he said.
