Who's watching taxpayer money? Maryland split on federal fraud crackdown – WBFF

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) — Maryland leaders are split over whether to cooperate with a new White House anti-fraud crackdown, even as state officials admit they cannot fully account for potential misuse of taxpayer-funded programs.

A new executive order signed Monday by President Donald Trump creates a federal task force to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in government benefit programs, including those administered by states with federal funding. The effort, led by Vice President JD Vance, directs agencies to audit compliance, identify fraud networks, and pursue enforcement.

The White House’s move comes as questions about oversight and accountability in Maryland persist, including concerns raised by state officials themselves about whether large-scale fraud seen in other states could be occurring locally.
