U.S. President Donald Trump signs a document as Vice President JD Vance (C) and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson look on during a White House signing ceremony in the Oval Office of the White House on March 16, 2026 in Washington, DC.
Trump signed an executive order to create a task force on fraud which will be lead by Vice President J.D. Vance.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a task force aimed at eliminating fraud in government benefit programs.
On Monday, the president signed an order formally creating the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and tapped Vice President JD Vance to lead the group.
Trump joked that Vance would perform better than former Vice President Kamala Harris, referencing her role addressing border issues during the administration of former President Joe Biden.
“This will not be like a Kamala where she was put in charge of the border and she never went there.
JD, right, you promise?” the president said, with Vance agreeing.
The force will coordinate government-wide efforts to combat widespread fraud, waste and abuse in federal assistance programs by implementing stronger safeguards such as identity verification requirements, documentation standards, and audits designed to prevent abuse.
Andrew Ferguson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, will serve as vice chair of the task force.
White House advisor Stephen Miller, who will act as a senior adviser, said the effort could return billions of dollars to the American people by cracking down on fraud in federal benefit programs.
