President Donald Trump is the first president in decades to make fighting fraud across the entire government a pillar of his domestic agenda. Though rarely a point of discussion in years past, fraud has remained in the political spotlight following a series of high-profile incidents that made the issue impossible to ignore. 

Late last year, a City Journal report found Somalians in Minnesota were sending Medicare and Medicaid funds to terrorist group Al-Shabaab, while Nick Shirley exposed the “Quality Learing Center” and other shady childcare facilities statewide. When the scope of the issue became clear, Trump took decisive action.
