Vance on fraud

The White House announced earlier Thursday that Vance would appear in St. Cloud for an announcement as part of the administration’s “war on fraud.”
Specific details of the visit were not disclosed.
Overview:
Vance has made several announcements in recent weeks regarding the federal anti-fraud task force launched this year.

During that press conference, Vance announced that YouTuber Nick Shirley would receive an award for his reporting on fraud in Minnesota.
State officials disputed Shirley’s claims in her video. However, some of the daycares Shirley visited ended up being de-enrolled during the state’s revalidation efforts.
