BREAKING: VP JD Vance HALTS Nearly $260M in Federal Funds to Minnesota Over Fraud

[Conservative Angle]

​

The war on fraud has officially begun…

During his State of the Union address, President Trump appointed Vice President JD Vance to lead the charge against fraud nationwide.

Now, not even 24 hours later, VP Vance has already made his first move!

Alongside Dr. Oz, Vance just announced that he is withholding over a quarter of a billion dollars in Medicaid funding from the state of Minnesota due to fraud concerns.

Watch his announcement here:

BREAKING: JD Vance and Mehmet Oz have just announced they are withholding $260 MILLION in Medicaid funds from the State of Minnesota due to FRAUD

“A LOT of people were getting rich off the American taxpayer!”

“There are kids that NEED these autism services, and the money is NOT going to those kids — it’s going to FRAUDSTERS in Minneapolis!”

KEEP DIGGING, JD!

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz now has 60 days to submit a detailed plan to get the fraud under control, or else the state will lose even more federal funding.

The New York Post reported:

Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that $259.5 million in Medicaid funds for Minnesota won’t be reimbursed due to fraud concerns — giving Democratic Gov. Tim Walz 60 days to submit a “corrective action plan” or face further withholdings.

Vance was joined by Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to make the announcement, which was first reported by The Post — one day after President Trump announced a Vance-led “war on fraud” in his State of the Union address.

The men also announced a national pause on firms that can seek subsidies through Medicare for durable medical equipment like canes and walkers.

“We are going to start very aggressively in the administration cracking down on the people and the organizations that are defrauding Americans,” Vance pledged after being delegated the role by Trump.

Oz said “Gov. [Tim] Walz has 60 days — 60 days, sir — to respond to our letter” if he wants repayment, which Oz said will require the state to “propose and act on a comprehensive corrective action plan to solve the problem.”

“If Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up $1 billion of deferred payments this year,” he threatened.

Let’s go!

It’s time to shut all the fraud down — not just in Minnesota, but in all other states where fraud is rampant, too, like Gavin Newsom’s California.

Vance is definitely taking his new role seriously, and this is a great way to kick things off!

LFG! Find all the fraud and put people behind bars please!
