""Republicans and Democrats can and should agree: fighting fraud, particularly fraud on the American taxpayer, is important work, and that's true now more than ever," said Sen. Chuck Grassley, highlighting the bipartisan commitment to tackling fraud."
""This is the person that is going to make sure we stop defrauding the American people," stated Vice President JD Vance regarding McDonald's new role in the DOJ's anti-fraud efforts."
The Senate confirmed Colin McDonald as assistant attorney general for fraud enforcement with a vote of 52-47.
