Vance Chairs Anti-Fraud Task Force Second Quarterly Report, Citing $8.1B in Savings

Vice President JD Vance chaired the second quarterly meeting of the Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Task Force on Jan. 10, 2026, announcing $8.1 billion in identified savings from federal payment systems. The task force's figures represent identified irregularities rather than audited recoveries; the Government Accountability Office and independent budget analysts noted that the administration's savings claims combined confirmed fraud, overpayments, and projected future savings under methodologies that differed from standard federal auditing practice.
