INTRO: The White House estimates it’s uncovered over 260 billion dollars in fraud since January 20-25. This comes after President Trump announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program to reward people a commission of up to 30-thousand dollars for tips leading to convictions. On Fox Business’ “Kudlow,” California Congressman Darrell Issa (EYE-suh) (R-CA) says he wants to overhaul the Congressional Budget Office so it recognizes fraudulent spending.
ACK: Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)
***MANDATORY CREDIT: “Kudlow” on Fox Business Network***
TAG: President Trump encouraged journalists to participate in the anti-fraud efforts…. but he says he’ll ultimately decide who gets paid.
KEYWORD: Politics, Economy, Business, Legal, Crime
