“Tip of the Iceberg”: JD Vance Warns More Fraud Will Be Found

You said Maine could be the third worst state after states like California and Minnesota.

We still have innocent until proven guilty in this country.My question is, what else do you got?What else has your task force flabbed that we should be concerned about because those amounts are a lot, but they don't really compare to California and Minnesota.

We've got biased reporters in all states.It's okay.Trust me. I can handle it, but here's what I'd say a few things.Number one, you talk about the scale of the fraud being less in Maine than it is in California.Well, California has a population that's much higher than Maine, so that's not necessarily a fair comparison.Number two, we've frankly been at this less long than we have in Maine than in another state.

And you're right, innocent until proven guilty, but what I've noticed is a pattern.That when you see certain types of fraud in certain types of programs, that's the tip of the iceberg.And when I see that autism services fraud in the Medicaid program in the Somali community, but not just that, I see local and state politicians who don't care about policing that fraud, that's the tip of the iceberg.And we're going to find out just how deep that iceberg is.And I suspect, I can't promise, but I suspect we are going to find hundreds of millions of more dollars every single month that we look in the state of Maine, because this is not a state that takes it seriously.
