Department of Justice announces over 1,000 major fraud enforcement actions

Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald discusses the Justice Department's fraud crackdown efforts during a press conference in Washington, D.C.

In the months since the establishment of the National Fraud Enforcement Division, the Department of Justice has launched over 1,000 major fraud enforcement actions across the country. Coordinated efforts aim to protect taxpayer dollars from schemes targeting Medicaid, SNAP, HUD, Social Security and SBA programs. These federal programs are designed to assist vulnerable groups, including the elderly, sick, and homeless.
