Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history [View all]
“We are officially putting governors on notice,” Sonderling said in a statement Wednesday.
“The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars — no state should allow it either,” he added. “If states allow it, they will suffer the consequences. This department is no longer afraid to use every lever available to ensure taxpayer money is protected.”
Trump has appointed Vice President JD Vance to lead a Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, ostensibly designed to root out abuse but fueled by the administration’s politically motivated crusade against Democratic-led states.
But advocacy groups and members of Congress have accused the Trump administration of disguising Republicans’ long-running campaign to slash social services with a veneer of “anti-fraud” enforcement.
