A new U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) division will lead investigations of government fraud, and take over duties—and staff, and funds– currently handled by other DOJ divisions and government agencies, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced.
The National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED), first announced by President Trump in January, will “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars,” Todd Blanche, acting U.S. assistant attorney general, said in a memo to the DOJ Tuesday.
