Chairman Arrington Applauds President Trump’s Anti-Fraud Task Force
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) released the following statement after Vice President J.D. Vance outlined the Administration’s efforts to combat fraud and protect taxpayers in conjunction with the President’s “war on fraud” initiative.
"Since his first day in office, President Trump has been laser focused on rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse, and he’s just getting started.
"We lose an estimated $500 billion a year to fraud, according to the Government Accountability Office. That’s why President Trump and Congressional Republicans took historic action to put in place guardrails that safeguard taxpayers’ sacred treasure through the One Big Beautiful Bill. But, as President Trump’s declaration of a ‘war on fraud’ underscores, there is still work to do.
"I applaud President Trump for taking this decisive action, am confident in Vice President Vance’s commitment to seeing it through, and urge my Republican colleagues in the House to follow suit by codifying additional anti-fraud reforms in Reconciliation 2.0."
