U.S. Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) are doing their part to help the Trump administration root out fraud, waste and abuse in the federal government.

Alabama’s two senators joined U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) in launching an Anti-Fraud Task Force alongside seven of their Republican colleagues. The Anti-Fraud Task Force will examine fraud, waste, and abuse across federal programs; identify vulnerabilities in existing systems; and strengthen government accountability to ensure the proper stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

“For years, blue states like Minnesota have been robbing the American taxpayers blind. Americans deserve better,” Tuberville said. “Thank God for President Trump and Vice President Vance who are cracking down on fraud. It’s past time that Congress does our part to protect taxpayers.”

This effort in Congress is meant to compliment work being led by Vice President J.D. Vance. President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order creating the taskforce back in March.

The November midterms give us a choice: keep fighting fraud with Republicans or send criminal fraudsters a life boat from the Democrats.

Tuberville and Britt also join several of their colleagues in the Anti-Fraud Task Force sending a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald commending the Trump Administration’s early anti-fraud efforts and requesting information to help Congress support and strengthen those initiatives moving forward.

“We commend President Trump for the decisive action taken to establish the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) and the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. Fraud is theft from hardworking American families, and Vice President Vance’s leadership as ‘Fraud Czar’ sends the right signal: this administration will no longer tolerate billions in organized theft from taxpayers through welfare programs, election schemes, contractor abuse, federally funded nonprofits, or elite institutions,” the letter says.

“The Senate Anti-Fraud Task Force is especially concerned with fraud schemes that undermine the constitutional foundations of self-government: honest elections, lawful citizenship, equal enforcement of federal law, federal-state cooperation, and Congress’s ability to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent consistent with law.”
