Providing for Consideration of H.R. 9576, National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026; Providing for Consideration of H.R. 10326, Preventing Rip-Offs and Obtaining Oversight of Funds Act...
“I want the House to pass my bill. It permanently sets up a fraud division in the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute people who steal taxpayer money. We need this to stop the widespread fraud happening in Minnesota and across the country.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Minnesota for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the rule and my bill, H.R. 9576, the National Fraud Enforcement Division Act of 2026. My home State of Minnesota has become far too familiar with the fraud, waste, and abuse running rampant throughout our State and country. While we have seen the systematic failure of Tim Walz and his administration, the Trump administration has stepped up, working to investigate these matters and safeguard Americans’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars. The Department of Justice has taken decisive action, especially, establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division to investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars. My legislation will make this division permanent within the Department of Justice and will appoint an Assistant Attorney General for national fraud enforcement, who will head the National Fraud Enforcement Division and perform duties laid out by the Attorney General. It is high time to put an end to the fraud plaguing this country by establishing this permanent framework to strengthen our Federal fraud prosecution efforts. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes’’ vote.”
