Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald discusses the Justice Department’s fraud crackdown efforts during a press conference in Washington, D.C.
In the months since the establishment of the National Fraud Enforcement Division, the Department of Justice has launched over 1,000 major fraud enforcement actions across the country.
