Watch live: Vance hosts inaugural meeting of Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud

Vice President JD Vance hosted the inaugural meeting of President Trump's White House Task Force on Eliminating Fraud on Friday morning, launching a new initiative unveiled during the president's State of the Union address. The task force is charged with coordinating government-wide efforts to combat fraud, waste, and abuse in federal benefit programs. The creation of the panel reflects the Trump administration's stated priority of rooting out what it characterizes as systemic inefficiencies across federal agencies and social safety net programs. The task force represents one of the early substantive moves by the administration to pursue efficiency-focused policies across the executive branch.
