President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are waging war on the fraudsters and scammers who have looted hardworking Americans for far too long.

Today, that war becomes fully transparent at fraud.gov — a new website where Americans can track every action, every takedown, and every dollar recovered as part of the unrelenting effort.

The White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud is moving to shut off the money, crush criminal networks, and deliver swift justice. Since the Task Force began its work, it has uncovered nearly $230 billion in fraud, stopped $56 billion in fraudulent payments that would have gone into the pockets of criminals, enforced more than $55 billion through indictments, settlements, and civil penalties, and secured hundreds of indictments and convictions.
