Watch live: Blanche gives remarks on Trump anti-fraud efforts

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who recently took the reins at the Department of Justice (DOJ) after Pam Bondi was ousted last week, will speak with reporters Tuesday morning about the Trump administration’s efforts to combat fraud.

His remarks come as President Trump and the DOJ have sought to strip states, like Minnesota, of federal funding over allegations of fraud within social service programs. It also comes as the administration has targeted several Trump foes — including New York Attorney General Letitia James and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — for mortgage fraud claims.

The president also recently named Vice President Vance as the administration’s “fraud czar.”

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EDT.
