“Mr. Vice President, thank you for your leadership against fraud on the American taxpayer. USDA's Office of Inspector General has been a proud part of your whole of government fight to eliminate fraud. Our law enforcement agents have worked tirelessly across the country from Seattle to Miami, Jackson, Mississippi to Cleveland, Ohio to disrupt fraud, restore integrity to federal programs, and arrest criminal fraudsters who steal from hardworking American taxpayers. SNAP fraud despicably robs from low-income Americans that rely on the program for food assistance and diverts taxpayer funds to line the pockets of fraudsters and bankroll other criminal activities. Drugs, guns, transnational organized crime. We've known that some of this money has gone to terrorist organizations. No more, Mr. Vice President.” – USDA Inspector General John Walk
@WHFraudTF @VP @SecRollins @DepSecVaden
Under @POTUS' leadership, USDA is protecting taxpayer dollars and holding those who exploit the system accountable.
SNAP benefits are meant to feed vulnerable Americans, NOT line the pockets of fraudsters.
@OIGUSDA Inspector General John Walk, @DepSecVaden, and USDA are proud to stand alongside @VP in this fight.
If you steal from the American taxpayer, you WILL be brought to justice. 🇺🇸

What a day to be an American! Thank you to @VP Vance, @AGToddBlanche, @AFergusonFTC, @AAGMcDonald, @NDGAnews U.S. Attorney Teddy Hertzberg, @OIGUSDA John Walk, and @WHFraudTF for coming out to Cincinnati to highlight the important work our prosecutors and agents are doing to combat SNAP fraud across the country. The fight continues.🇺🇸

.@AGToddBlanche: "This is a concerted effort to literally take food out of the mouths of children and it’s going to stop. We have U.S. attorneys on the stage behind me. We have the inspector General from @USDA behind me, and they are leading the effort to stop this. We've indicted men and women in 13 different districts just in the past seven weeks, and that effort will continue for as long as it takes."
.@AGToddBlanche in Ohio with @VP on SNAP Fraud: "We have uncovered $42 MILLION dollars in fraud associated with the SNAP program. This fraud comes in all different ways. It comes from these criminals actually stealing the money off the cards that are used to purchase food by our most needed in the country. It comes from just outright theft and taking money from the people that are supposed to be receiving these efforts."

Vice President JD Vance:
“I think it’s driven home how much the war against fraud is not just about protecting taxpayer dollars, as much as that is very important to every person on this stage. It’s also about protecting important benefits… You know, nobody loves paying their taxes, but they accept it because they know it’s going for a good and a useful purpose. That’s not going to happen unless we take fraud more seriously and it’s why the President’s effort to do just that is so important."
US Attorney Southern District of Ohio retweeted
We are activating the full tools of justice to bring accountability to those stealing from these programs and the American taxpayer.
.@AAGMcDonald: "These cases and allegations reveal the scope of deception, greed, and human exploitation permeating SNAP fraud schemes. These are not paperwork crimes. The tools of justice must be, and are, fully activated to protect the innocent, provide for our most vulnerable, punish the wrongdoer, and restore the public’s confidence that those who engage in fraud will indeed be brought to justice."

Fraudsters beware.
@VP Vance’s Fraud Task Force will protect hardworking Americans. 🇺🇸

OH SNAP!
.@AGToddBlanche: On September 1, we began a surge against SNAP fraud — and in seven weeks, we’ve uncovered $42M in SNAP fraud, or enough to feed 220,000 Americans for an entire month.
US Attorney Southern District of Ohio retweeted
Vice President JD Vance:
“We have way too much fraud in the SNAP program… we find that there are people out there who decide to commit fraud against these programs. Who quite literally in this case, will steal from the mouths of hungry children in order to enrich themselves. And that cannot go on and thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are fighting and winning the war against fraud in the SNAP program.”

.@AAGMcDonald in Ohio with @VP on SNAP Fraud: "There is no more noble or compassionate taxpayer-funded program than those provided by @USDA: food for hungry children and relief for moms and dads struggling to put dinner on the table tonight. If ever a fraudster might say, 'Those dollars do too much good. They protect too many vulnerable kids and parents. These dollars are too noble for me to take,' it would be SNAP. But there is no program too noble for a fraudster. They will take whatever they can, no matter the financial cost or the human toll."
US Attorney Southern District of Ohio retweeted
Vice President JD Vance:
“When we catch a fraudster, they are very often by the judicial system, given a slap on the wrist and let out back into our country. That has got to stop. So John Husted and a number of other congressional Republicans, have worked with us to try to increase the mandatory minimums when we catch fraudsters. If you commit fraud against SNAP you should go to jail, and you should go to jail for a very long time.”
US Attorney Southern District of Ohio retweeted
Vice President JD Vance and his task force give a big warning to potential fraudsters across the country:
"Your skills and your abilities, don't use them to go and defraud your fellow citizens. Use those skills and abilities to do something legitimate and build something of real value. Otherwise, you're going to go to prison."
