Sec. Rollins on the USDA Employee Charged in a Multimillion-Dollar Food Stamp Fraud and Bribery Scheme: We Are Rooting Out Waste, Fraud and Abuse

TRANSCRIPT:

ROLLINS: "Listen, this is a new day, and President Trump promised, as he was traveling across the country over the last few years, that it would not be the government that we know, the government certainly that under Joe Biden exponentially grew and alongside that including the fraud and waste and abuse. And so at USDA, we are hyper focused, hyper focused on rooting out that waste, fraud and abuse. And to your point, yesterday was, if not the largest, one of the largest stings. And moving forward and finding that fraud, I think almost $70 million that is no longer going to be allowed here in Washington and with these programs like the food stamp program. So, we’re going to move forward, obviously, in partnership with the FBI, with the Department of Justice, of course, our team at USDA. This is not the one and only. There are going to be many more to come and we’re going to make sure that we’re delivering on our promises to the taxpayers."
