Trump Launches Anti-Fraud Task Force in California

President Donald Trump is setting up a new anti-fraud task force in California, an initiative led by Vice President JD Vance. As reported by CBS News, the task force aims to address fraud issues in the state, with the Federal Trade Commission playing a significant role as vice chairman.

The move is set to be formalized through an executive order that Trump plans to sign in the coming days. This development follows a recent fraud scandal in Minnesota's welfare system, which has drawn the attention of the Trump administration.

Inquiries for comments from representatives of the White House, FTC, Department of Justice, and California Governor Gavin Newsom went unanswered, adding to the speculation surrounding this strategic administrative decision.
