President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were set to announce a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program at the White House on Tuesday, offering cash rewards for information that exposes misuse of government funds.
The program will offer rewards of up to $30,000 for tips that uncover government fraud, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Fox News described the initiative as a warning to fraudsters and said payments would go to people whose tips produce results.
Trump was also expected to present a $10,000 check to YouTuber Nick Shirley, according to The Washington Post and KOMO. KOMO described Shirley as the influencer behind a video about alleged child-care fraud in Minnesota.
Vance leads the administration’s task force focused on eliminating fraud. The Hill reported that the White House said the task force is investigating abuse of taxpayer dollars and that the administration has “zero tolerance” for such misuse.
The announcement comes as Trump and Vance campaign around the country ahead of the midterm elections, with Republicans seeking to retain control of the House and Senate.
