Yes or no.

Would you allow the cities to ignore the federal law?

No.

And I wanted to thank you for your work at DOJ in restoring the rule of law, encouraging transparency surrounding Jack Smith's partisan investigations into President Trump.

declassifying information about the Russia collusion hoax, cracking down on sanctuary jurisdictions, and establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division.

Let me first go to securing the border and immigration enforcement.

Our new governor has recently rescinded 287 cooperation between the state and ICE.

Can you talk about, have you evaluated the public safety impact, how that would affect safety in Virginia to withdraw that support and what that would do

We appreciate that.

We appreciate your work to make that happen in Virginia and keep Virginia safe.

I want to move on to the Fraud Enforcement Division that you've established.

My understanding is that this initiative is intended to centralize, coordinate enforcement of fraud laws related to government programs.

You've talked about Minnesota.

You've talked about California.

Would this affect Virginia as well?

Because we have fraud in Virginia as well.

Would this affect things like long-term care accountability, senior living facilities engaged in Medicaid fraud, including systemic overbilling practices and the misappropriation of taxpayer-funded benefits?

OK, I know that whether it was related to fraud specifically or another subject that under the Biden administration, there was a sitting member of the Virginia General Assembly under investigation.

Is that investigation still ongoing?

Can you speak to that?
