The Trump administration launched a fraud website, allowing Americans to track the dollars recovered.
“President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance are waging war on the fraudsters and scammers who have looted hardworking Americans for far too long,” the White House said in a statement. “Today, that war becomes fully transparent at fraud.gov — a new website where Americans can track every action, every takedown, and every dollar recovered as part of the unrelenting effort.”
The website shares what the Trump administration is calling the “Fraud Ledger,” defined as a “public record of the fraud, waste, and corruption identified by the Trump Administration’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud since January 2025.”
Detailing various agencies where fraud was uncovered, the website notes that $96.2B was uncovered at HHS, $6.7M at the USDA, $7B at the DOL, $329M with HUD, $122.9B with SBA, $2B with the ED, $135 at the VA, and $1.3B at DHS. The numbers amount to $229.9 billion in uncovered fraud.
Some of these anti-fraud actions taken by the Trump administration include pausing nearly $260 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota in February, suspending hospice and home health providers in Los Angeles in March, and uncovering $6.3 billion in likely fraudulent government contracts in April.
President Trump established the task force combatting fraud in March. The order condemns the exploitation of programs “intended to provide a safety net to lawfully eligible Americans” by “illegal aliens, criminals, foreign gangs, bureaucrats, State and local officials, non-governmental organizations, and ineligible providers.” It declares that the Trump administration “will use all available resources and authorities to fight fraud, close loopholes, enforce eligibility rules, and protect benefits for eligible Americans, while ensuring States administering Federal benefits programs do the same.”
