Vance Chairs First Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Task Force Meeting
Vice President JD Vance chaired the first formal meeting of the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Task Force on March 12, 2025, reviewing federal contracts flagged for elimination by DOGE. The task force was launched in February 2025 to institutionalize a government-wide fraud and waste review; the March meeting established the review process across participating agencies, marking the transition from announcement to operational review.
