The following lifted wholesale from Aaron Blake in the Bezos WashPost:
President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s efforts to disrupt the U.S. government and hamstring federal agencies are increasingly predicated on the idea that they’re combating fraud. Trump and Musk used that word more than a dozen times in the Oval Office on [Feb. 11th], and the Trump administration keeps citing fraud in defending itself in court.
“We have massive amounts of fraud that we’ve caught,” Trump said.
Except they seem to be having trouble locating the actual fraud.
They keep saying they’ve uncovered fraud. But when pressed for evidence, they don’t seem to have much or any.
They instead often point to programs that might sound wasteful to some but were congressionally authorized. They have also repeatedly pointed to things that have been known about for years, acting as if they had just uncovered them.
