President Donald Trump has directed Vice President JD Vance, who earlier was assigned the duties of tracking down and rooting out corruption in government programs, to focus on “Massive Corruption and Crime” in Democrat-run cities and states.
On social media, Trump said, “I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S.”
He continued, charging, “The blue states, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of dollars is being stolen each and every month.

According to RedState, “Trump signed an executive order back in March to establish the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and he tapped the vice president to lead the government-wide effort to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in federally funded benefit programs.”
The report said now comes this renewed effort to hold those responsible for corruption accountable, which is “a pretty clear sign that the Trump administration, despite the GOP’s electoral drubbing last week, has no intention of taking his foot off the gas when it comes to Democrats and their costly misdeeds.”
In fact, losses to corruption and fraud in Minnesota Medicaid programs alone are estimated to have cost taxpayers nearly $10 billion. Multiple prosecutions and convictions have resulted so far. Investigations have begun into similar allegations on multiple other states run by Democrats.
