It’s not every day the Vice President of the United States walks into the White House briefing room and takes over the podium himself, but that’s exactly what happened today.
With Karoline Leavitt out on maternity leave, Vice President JD Vance stepped in to handle the briefing — and from the second he walked up to the podium, it was clear this wasn’t going to be one of those slow, scripted press conferences full of meaningless talking points.
Vance came in ready to fight on multiple fronts.
He opened with the administration’s anti-fraud crackdown and immediately started throwing around massive numbers tied to government waste and abuse.
It was all action from the Fraud Czar himself.
According to Vance, the administration has already uncovered billions in fraudulent activity spread across multiple federal systems in just the past few months alone.
