Fraud Division bill before the Senate

    by HOMERED: Donald Trump

    a fraud-fighting machine that sticks around no matter who wins the White House next. that's the ask from President Trump's administration, which wants the US Senate to move fast on a bill that would write the Fraud Division into federal law instead of leaving it as something a future Democratic president could just delete congress already voted 350 strong last week to make permanent the National Fraud Enforcement Division, and now the bill sits in front of the Senate. the division itself was set up inside the Department of Justice under President Trump "This is not a partisan issue. Fraud is not. All of us, all of us should care that our money is going out the door, being shoveled out the door to fraudsters across the country and international fraud actors taking our taxpayer dollars." "That bill is now in front of the Senate and I urge Congress to pass this so that we have a permanent fraud fighting machine that will fight for the financial security of the United States." 60 votes, the argument goes, should be easy. if it isn't, that becomes a talking point for backing Republican candidates in the midterms the other side of it: Democrats get accused of wanting open borders and socialism, and of letting taxpayer money flow to fraudsters as a way to buy votes

    the work that you're doing. So, under President Trump, he has established a division in the Department of Justice to fight fraud. Congress just last week, in a bipartisan vote, 350 congressmen voted in favor of codifying and making permanent the National Fraud Enforcement Division. This is not a partisan issue. Fraud is not. All of us, all of us should care that our money is going out the door, are being shoveled out the door to fraudsters across the country and international fraud actors taking our taxpayer dollars. That bill is now in front of the Senate, and I urge Congress to pass this so that we have a permanent fraud-fighting machine that will fight for the financial security of the United States.
