司法部破获欺诈案,涉及超过65亿美元虚假医保、医疗补助索赔
《福克斯周日新闻》专题小组讨论代理司法部长托德·布兰奇宣布破获一起涉案金额达65亿美元的医保和医疗补助欺诈案,此次行动逮捕了超过450名涉嫌欺诈者。
福克斯新闻独家报道: 一批参议院共和党议员正组建反欺诈专项工作组,以复刻特朗普政府此前开展的数十亿美元欺诈打击行动。
来自密苏里州的共和党参议员埃里克·施密特牵头组建由9名参议院共和党议员组成的反欺诈专项工作组,该工作组将审查联邦项目中的欺诈、浪费和滥用行为,找出这些项目的漏洞,并确保责任追查到资金流向的源头:国会。
“席卷全国的欺诈浪潮是当今美国民众面临的最紧迫问题之一,”施密特在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。“这是国家级别的有组织盗窃,为此付出代价的正是那些挥锤劳作、开卡车送货、拼命养家糊口的美国普通人。”

“我们的专项工作组将打击那些利用系统漏洞、掠夺美国民众的欺诈团伙和不法分子,”他补充道。“追随特朗普总统的脚步,我们正式向欺诈宣战。”
施密特已招募以下共和党议员:堪萨斯州参议员罗杰·马歇尔、阿拉巴马州参议员汤米·图伯维尔、阿拉巴马州参议员凯蒂·布里特、佛罗里达州参议员阿什利·穆迪、蒙大拿州参议员蒂姆·希伊、内布拉斯加州参议员皮特·里基茨、田纳西州参议员玛莎·布莱克本,以及威斯康星州参议员罗恩·约翰逊。

约翰逊指出,根据美国政府问责局或律商联讯等不同数据库的统计,每年联邦政府欺诈的金额在2500亿至1万亿美元之间波动。
“通过起诉追回这些资金几乎不可能,因此我们必须首先聚焦于阻止资金落入欺诈者手中,”约翰逊说。
施密特牵头的工作组旨在配合特朗普政府由副总统J·D·万斯领导的反欺诈行动,今年早些时候,特朗普总统任命万斯担任政府反欺诈专员,相关行动随即启动。

万斯负责的反欺诈行动于4月全面展开,已识别出近63亿美元疑似与欺诈性企业相关的政府合同。调查结果显示,近400家企业需要证明其运营合法且拥有实体办公地址。
今年5月,该专项工作组扣留了全国范围内家庭健康和临终关怀机构获得的14亿美元联邦资金。

参议院的反欺诈行动并非只有施密特牵头的这一项。参议院卫生、教育、劳工与养老金委员会主席、共和党议员比尔·卡西迪自今年年初明尼苏达州欺诈丑闻曝光以来,一直在加大反欺诈力度。
卡西迪组建了专门打击明尼苏达州欺诈乱象的反欺诈专项工作组,目前该工作组已将行动范围扩展至纽约、密歇根和俄勒冈州等其他蓝州。

Republicans declare war on ‘organized theft’ with government fraud crackdown

Senator Ron Johnson warns federal fraud costs Americans between $250B and $1T per year

DOJ fraud bust alleges more than $6.5B in fake Medicare, Medicaid claims
‘Fox News Sunday’ panelists discuss Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement of a $6.5 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud bust that led to the arrests of more than 450 alleged fraudsters.
FIRST ON FOX: A cohort of Senate Republicans are launching an anti-fraud task force to mirror the efforts of the Trump administration in its multibillion-dollar fraud crusade.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., is leading the group of nine Senate Republicans in their formation of the Anti-Fraud Task Force, a group that will examine fraud, waste and abuse across federal programs, identify vulnerabilities in those programs, and ensure that the buck stops where the flow of funding begins: Congress.
“The fraud epidemic burdening our country is one of the most pressing issues facing Americans today,” Schmitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “It’s organized theft on a national scale, and the Americans paying the price are the ones swinging the hammer and driving the trucking, working their tails off to make ends meet.”

“Our Task Force will go after the fraud rings and bad actors exploiting our systems and robbing Americans,” he continued. “Following President Trump’s lead, we’re declaring war on fraud.”
Schmitt has recruited Sens. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., Katie Britt, R-Ala., Ashley Moody, R-Fla., Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

Johnson contended that depending on the database you accessed — like the Government Accountability Office or LexisNexis — the amount of federal government fraud fluctuated between $250 billion and $1 trillion per year.
“It’s nearly impossible to recover those funds through prosecutions, so we must focus on preventing the money from getting to the fraudsters in the first place,” Johnson said.
Schmitt’s task force is meant to align with the Trump administration’s anti-fraud efforts led by Vice President JD Vance, whom President Donald Trump tapped to be his anti-fraud czar, that were launched earlier this year.

Vance’s operation hit the ground running in April and identified nearly $6.3 billion in government contracts believed to be tied to potentially fraudulent businesses. Those findings showed nearly 400 businesses would be required to prove they had legitimate operations and physical addresses.
In May, the task force withheld $1.4 billion in federal funding from home health and hospice providers nationwide.

Schmitt’s effort isn’t the only one in the Senate, either. Sen. Bill Cassidy, who chairs the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, has been ramping up anti-fraud efforts since the beginning of the year in the wake of the Minnesota fraud scandal.
Cassidy launched an anti-fraud task force cracking down on abuses in Minnesota that has since expanded to other blue states, including New York, Michigan and Oregon.
