Yo -- JD Vance -- at your Anti-Fraud press event 05/13/2026...

If there is SO MUCH FRAUD being uncovered...
Why are so few fraudsters being prosecuted???

Who is committing these crimes??? Why aren't you naming names???

Grandma + Grandpa failed to declare the $50 extra they received from
their Social Security cost of living adjustment (COLA) -- so you're going
to refuse them food stamps??? You'll withhold money from their monthly
SS payment to recover the overage??? Geez... They don't even receive
$2000 a month.

President Tr*mp is pardoning + commuting sentences of folks who defrauded
the US government billions of dollars... + forgiving their restitution repayments...
Folks like

Philip Esformes (convicted of a $1.3 billion scheme)
Salomon Melgen (eye doctor convicted of $100 million fraud)
Sholam Weiss (sentenced to 835 years for racketeering)
Lawrence Duran (led a $205 million Medicare fraud scheme)
Joseph Schwartz (stole $38 million in taxes + Medicaid fraud}

Tr*mp's pardons have wiped out nearly $2 billion in victim repayments + taxpayer recovery,
Why isn't this $$$ being recovered + returned to the US treasury???

Yet you'll punish the entire state of California + Minnesota + other states by withholding their
Medicaid + USDA funding for not responding the way you want to the claims you make about fraud.

Perhaps there's a problem at the Justice Department. Can't help but notice prosecutors who
had been leading the sprawling fraud investigations under the Biden + Trump administrations
were among those who were let go by DOGE or resigned from the Justice Department amid
frustration w/ the dept’s response to the fatal shootings of civilians by federal agents in
Minneapolis, among other issues.

Perhaps most telling: No transcript, even AI-generated, is available of this event on any stream...
JD Vance -- you are not to be trusted...
