WATCH: “Fraudsters, We Are Coming For You”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today the Republican Study Committee (RSC) released a new video highlighting the Trump administration’s efforts to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse and protect American taxpayer dollars.
The video comes as Vice President JD Vance called on Congress to codify the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud's anti-fraud reforms. Making these reforms permanent would strengthen protections for taxpayers, close loopholes exploited by fraudsters, and restore integrity to federal programs.
The RSC has been at the forefront of the fight against waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs, proposing a framework in January 2026 to codify the Trump administration’s anti-fraud victories into law and deliver accountability for American taxpayers.
