Trump and Vance Launch $25 Million Federal Fraud Whistleblower Program
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance announced a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) to encourage the public to report suspected federal fraud. Administered by the Justice Department, the program offers rewards up to $30,000 for tips leading to fraud convictions or significant enforcement actions. Tips must be submitted via fraud.gov, and Trump will arbitrate reward distribution if multiple claims arise. The initiative aims to reduce abuse of taxpayer funds through increased public participation.
