Vance launches into Trump's 'war on fraud' by suspending Medicaid payments to Minnesota [View all]
(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance got a new assignment Tuesday night: fighting a “war on fraud” that President Donald Trump declared in his State of the Union address.
It’s the latest addition to a portfolio that has included saving TikTok from extinction in the U.S. and selling Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” — and it comes with Trump’s high expectations.
“He’ll get it done,” Trump pledged in his speech. “And if we’re able to find enough of that fraud, we will actually have a balanced budget overnight.”
Vance, joined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, announced the opening salvo in the effort Wednesday: a pause on federal Medicaid reimbursements to Minnesota. The state is subject to an ongoing fraud probe involving day care centers and allegations of misuse of funds that has become a rallying cause for Republicans.
