President Trump and Vice President JD Vance announced a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program Tuesday, inviting the public to report suspected fraud at fraud.gov. Individual awards are capped at $30,000, though Trump said tipsters could receive a 1% commission on larger recovered sums and that he would personally arbitrate award disputes. Trump presented a $10,000 check to journalist Nick Shirley for exposing alleged fraud in Minnesota.
