Vance’s VP Andrew Ferguson Just Told Kayleigh McEnany About a Big Anti-Fraud Development That Has Democrats Terrified

Joe Biden let fraudsters steal $tens of billions from food stamp programs in a single year.

Now the people he never hired to stop it are about to make their move.

Andrew Ferguson just went on Fox News and told Kayleigh McEnany that next week is going to be a very big week – and he couldn't say why.

The Tip of the Spear Just Went Public

Ferguson is the Vice Chair of the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force – the same task force President Trump stood up by executive order on March 16 with JD Vance at the top and nearly a dozen cabinet agencies underneath.

When Trump signed that order, he looked at Vance and Ferguson and called their assignment "one of the most important in the country."

Ferguson told McEnany the announcement is embargoed – he can't give specifics yet.

But what he did say is enough to keep Democrats up at night.

"Next week it is gonna be an example of how a cross-agency, all-of-government approach can really tackle fraud across all of the agencies," Ferguson said.

That means DOJ. Treasury. DHS. Agriculture. Veterans Affairs. HHS.

All of them moving together.

What Biden Left Behind

The numbers are staggering – and Democrats built every single one of them.

During Biden's tenure, SNAP spending ballooned to record highs of $128 billion in 2021 and $127 billion in 2022. By fiscal year 2023, the GAO confirmed that 11.7 percent of all SNAP benefits paid – roughly $10.5 billion – were improper payments. That rate climbed every single year after 2013.

Hundreds of thousands of people were double-dipping – collecting benefits twice or using the Social Security numbers of dead people.

Biden's response was to loosen eligibility controls, invite states to self-certify their own compliance, and allow Democratic governors to gut the verification systems that kept fraud in check.

Some states didn't just look the other way. They built the loopholes into state law.

The Trump executive order called them out by name: states that "embraced loopholes that avoid individual eligibility validation, allow self-certification of eligibility, and expand eligibility" while refusing "to institute basic fraud controls."

Now those states are getting squeezed.

The task force has already flagged $6.3 billion in potentially fraudulent government contracts. The executive order gives agencies until June 14 to submit measurable enforcement plans. The DOJ's new National Fraud Enforcement Division – stood up in January specifically to prosecute these cases – is waiting with criminal charges.

The Machine Is Already Running

Ferguson didn't reveal the announcement – but he didn't need to.

The structure tells the story. This isn't one agency sending strongly worded letters. This is AI-driven detection tools, cross-agency data sharing, and a DOJ division with a mandate to criminally prosecute what it finds – all aimed at the same target on the same timeline.

When the task force launched formally in late March, Ferguson put it plainly: "The American people feel like they are getting ripped off, and they're right."

He said every dollar diverted to a fake hospice or a fake autism center – every dollar paid to a crooked hospital – is a dollar stolen from an American citizen who actually needs those services.

What Biden built over four years was a system where fraud wasn't just possible – it was predictable.

What Trump built in two months was a machine to find every dollar and drag the people who stole it into federal court.

Next week, that machine is going public.
