"They stole 18 billion dollars! said Trump. That's just what we're learning about. That's peanuts. He went on to claim that there was additional fraud in other Democratic-led states, calling it a reason for a good new year because his administration would get that money back. And California is worse. Illinois is worse. And sadly New York is worse. A lot of other places, he said."
"The president's words came hours after Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the administration would freeze federal child care funding nationwide until states prove they are being spent legitimately. That followed Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill's Tuesday announcement that the administration had frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota. The administration's recent scrutiny on Minnesota, and fraud write large, was partially brought on by influencer Nick Shirley, whose video investigation of the state's daycares went viral last week"
President Donald Trump opened a New Year's Eve event at Mar-a-Lago by accusing Democratic-led states of large-scale child-care fraud, claiming "They stole 18 billion dollars" and calling the situation a "giant scam." He named California, Illinois and New York as worse and vowed the administration would recover the funds. Hours later HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said the administration would freeze federal child-care funding nationwide until states demonstrate legitimate spending. Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill had already announced a freeze of all child-care payments to Minnesota. The administration's scrutiny was partly prompted by influencer Nick Shirley's viral video investigating Minnesota daycares, which allegedly found many centers nonoperational on weekdays and received praise from conservative figures including Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk.
