Vance Swears In Colin McDonald to Lead DOJ Fraud Crackdown

Vice President JD Vance officially swore in Colin McDonald to lead the Department of Justice’s new National Fraud Enforcement Division, a unit created to intensify investigations into financial crime and government fraud. McDonald, a veteran federal prosecutor, will oversee efforts to prosecute large-scale scams, strengthen oversight of federal programs, and pursue cases involving white-collar crime that cost taxpayers billions each year. The appointment comes as the Trump administration launches a broader “war on fraud,” with Vance coordinating a government-wide push to investigate misuse of federal funds and social service programs. Officials say the new division is meant to expand enforcement tools and increase accountability across agencies, signaling a tougher approach toward corruption, fraud schemes, and abuse of taxpayer money.
