Vice President JD Vance visited Bangor, Maine, on Thursday to promote the Trump administration's efforts against fraud and waste. He criticized state Democrats for lacking cooperation and highlighted recent cases uncovered by the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force.
Vance addressed a crowd in a hangar at the Bangor airport. He accused Democratic Gov. Janet Mills of failing to work with federal authorities on fraud investigations and said the state had uncovered tens of millions of dollars in improper payments. The vice president also pointed to the case of Rakiya Mohamed, who pleaded guilty in March to collecting $15 million for nonexistent language services over five years during the prior administration.
