NEW: JD Vance’s Anti-Fraud Task Force Makes Jaw-Dropping Discovery

Vice President JD Vance’s newly launched anti-fraud task force has flagged nearly $6.3 billion in federal contracts tied to businesses the administration believes may be fraudulent, according to a report from the Daily Caller.

Administration officials told the outlet Wednesday that the task force, working alongside the General Services Administration, is preparing to send letters to nearly 400 businesses holding government contracts that investigators suspect may not be legitimate.

Officials said 895 contracts worth roughly $6.3 billion were awarded to 392 businesses identified in the review, with about $3 billion of that funding still yet to be paid out.

The businesses will have 30 days to prove they are legitimate operations with physical addresses, officials said. Letters are being sent by anti-fraud task force Executive Director Scott Brady and GSA Commissioner Edward Forst, whom one senior administration official credited with helping uncover the questionable contracts.

A senior administration official told The Daily Caller that most of the flagged contracts were awarded during the Biden administration.

“The fact that these taxpayer dollars went out without verifying if the contractors and vendors were even real or lawful businesses is a disgrace and yet another example of how the previous administration flouted basic anti-fraud guardrails,” a senior White House official told the Caller.

The task force was established after YouTuber Nick Shirley publicized allegations involving multiple Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota that were allegedly receiving government funds despite not providing services.

Vance’s anti-fraud team held its first meeting on March 27. Colin McDonald, the assistant attorney general for National Fraud Enforcement, was sworn in on April 1.

“The Vice President’s task force will leave no stone unturned in the hunt for fraud. If fraudsters are robbing hardworking Americans of their tax dollars and services, we will find them,” a spokesperson for the vice president told the Daily Caller in a statement.

Vance has also said the task force is examining allegations involving Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar and possible immigration fraud.

“So we actually think that Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America,” the vice president told conservative commentator Benny Johnson during an interview. “And I talked to [White House deputy chief of staff] Stephen Miller about this actually recently. We’re trying to look at what the remedies are.”

“That’s the thing that we’re trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud? How do you go after her? How do you investigate her? How do you actually do the thing? How do you build the case necessary to get some justice for the American people?” he added. “There’s a related issue, Benny, which is she has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somali community.”
