JD Vance received attention from Donald Trump during the State of the Union, with Trump praising Vance as leading a war on fraud. Vance’s efforts are described as targeting healthcare in Minnesota and California and launching an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar over alleged immigration fraud. Nearly two dozen Democratic attorneys general declined a task-force meeting invite, stating they were given less than one business day’s notice and no agenda. Vance had invited them with a required RSVP date, while other GOP attorneys general reportedly received a week’s notice. Vance claimed Connecticut and Oregon attorneys general attended. The meeting included praise from White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller for aggressive efforts to shut down criminal fraud.
"Few things have (probably!) brought JD Vance as much joy so far this year as the ounce of attention he got from Daddy Trump in his State of the Union Address, who said he was "announcing the war on fraud to be led by our 'great' Vice President JD Vance." "He'll get it done.""
"23 Dem. AGs sent Vance a letter on Tuesday saying they couldn't make his meeting that afternoon because of they were "provided with less than one business day's notice with no agenda." Vance had invited them Friday-with a required RSVP date for Saturday-though per a source familiar with the matter, other GOP AGs were given a week's notice. Still, according to Vance, the Connecticut and Oregon AGs were in attendance."
"It doesn't seem these AGs missed much. At one point, White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared to fully brown-nose Vance, saying, "Because of the vice president's leadership, you are seeing the most muscular, robust, aggressive, dedicated, determined, and speedy effort to shut down criminal fraud that has not, only ever occurred in the history of this country, but in any developed nation." OK!"
