    'Why Is This Not Making Headlines? Over $2.7 Trillion in Fraudulent US Government Payments Discovered – Karoline Leavitt Responds'

    'On Wednesday Real America’s Voice White House reporter Brian Glenn
    asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the trillions
    in fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare payments that have been going
    overseas.

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held her DOGE subcommittee hearing
    earlier in the day and announced the group’s findings. The subcommittee
    has found $2.7 trillion in improper and fraudulent government payments
    since forming their subcommittee.

    This number came from a report late last year on government waste.

    According to NewsNation the federal government spent $2.7 trillion in
    payment errors since 2003.

    That number was discovered last year before DOGE launched an in depth investigation into government waste.



    On Wednesday Brian Glenn asked Karoline Leavitt about the shocking
    amount of fraud that government investigators already discovered.

    Brian Glenn: “I want to go back to DOGE for just a second. Earlier the subcommittee headed by Chairman Marjorie Taylor Greene, her and her
    staff discovered $2.7 trillion in improper payments to Medicare,
    Medicaid, overseas, to people who should not have gotten it, some in
    this room might have missed that press conference. Can you elaborate on
    what the President is thinking at this point?”

    Karoline Leavitt: “Well, again, that’s another example, there is a very long list of the fraud, waste, and abuse that DOGE is identifying on a
    daily basis. Elon Musk also talked yesterday about Social Security
    payments that are going out the door for people who are no longer with
    us, unfortunately.

    I would say that is certainly fraud. There is also a lot of contracts
    they’ve identified that, just as a hypothetical example, are a million
    bucks been only $500,000 went out the door, so where’s the rest of that
    cash? And so, that’s the thing — those are the things that DOGE is
    working on every single day and I would just are mind everybody in this
    room, this is what President Trump campaigned on doing. He’s delivering
    on a promise that 77 million people elected him to do.”'
