Congressman Seth Moulton is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and he's a Marine Corps veteran.

All right.

Coming up, Donald Trump announces J.D.

Vance has a new job hunting for fraud.

I got a few ideas about where you might find it.

That's next.

Remember, a little over a month ago, Donald Trump delivered a long-winded, light-on-substance State of the Union address.

And one of the few policy announcements Trump made was his war on fraud, which would be led by Vice President J.D.

Vance.

Well, today, in a true social post, Trump officially named Vance the administration's fraud czar, who's going to focus on fraud everywhere.

And by everywhere, Trump then clarified that he meant primarily in blue states.

Of course, so far, Trump's self-declared war on fraud has been less about actually combating fraud and more about doling out punishment to groups like the Somali-American community, which Trump has repeatedly disparaged in incredibly racist ways.

And the real irony here is that the Trump administration is so dead set on targeting and scapegoating immigrants that they're letting actual fraudsters off the hook.

This week, ProPublica reported that to free up manpower to focus on immigrants, the Trump administration has been dropping cases against actual alleged fraudsters by the hundreds.

They shut down more than 100 health care fraud cases and more than 900 cases where someone tried to defraud federal government programs.

They dropped all of those cases in just the first six months of Donald Trump's second term.

I wonder if Donald Trump's new fraud czar can look into that.

And then there's the indisputable and damning fact that Trump has granted clemency to dozens of allies, donors, and others convicted of fraud.

In just one case, Donald Trump pardoned the owner of a nursing home empire convicted of a massive $39 million fraud scheme.

Trump pardoned him three months into a three-year sentence.
