DOJ Sends Clear Message to Fraudsters: Americans Are Not Your Piggybank

Washington, DC – The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) released the following statement from Brett Tolman, Chair for Law and Justice, in response to news that the U.S. Department of Justice has charged 15 individuals over more than $90 million in fraud in Minnesota: 

“We applaud the DOJ for launching one of the most robust anti-fraud enforcement efforts in generations. The criminal charges announced in Minnesota expose a shocking abuse of taxpayer funds meant to serve Americans in need, enabled by years of a disgraceful lack of oversight and willful negligence by America-last leaders.

This aggressive action sends a clear message: Stealing from the American people will not be tolerated. Actions like these by the Trump administration will not only put criminals behind bars but also will help restore public trust by ensuring that programs like Medicaid serve the people they are intended to help, not thieves looking to exploit the system.”
