President Donald Trump has described Vance's new role as a "fraud czar," saying the effort will prioritize oversight in Democratic-led states — naming Minnesota, which is currently under investigation for alleged fraud in certain social services programs.

The Department of Labor and its Office of Inspector General recently announced a new partnership formed after the President's executive order that established a task force to coordinate anti-fraud actions across agencies and with state partners.

Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson will join Vance and the state attorneys general to discuss enforcement strategies, information-sharing and consumer protections.
