Vice President JD Vance in Milwaukee Visit Says Trump Administration Is Fighting 'Fraudsters'
The vice president is highlighting a $6.5 billion healthcare fraud takedown as federal prosecutors pursue new cases in Wisconsin.
- Vice President JD Vance returned to Wisconsin on Wednesday to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to eliminate government waste and fraud, speaking at the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 128th Air Refueling Wing.
- The visit follows the Department of Justice's $6.5 billion healthcare fraud takedown announced June 23, which charged over 450 people across 45 states, including at least 90 doctors, for schemes causing significant patient harm.
- State Rep. Kalan Haywood, D-Milwaukee, criticized the visit as "political theater," arguing administration policies have raised costs for families and punished honest Wisconsinites relying on Medicaid for health care.

- Security closures surrounded the Pfister Hotel on Wednesday morning as Vance headlines a high-dollar fundraiser for the Republican National Committee, with host committee spots costing $100,000 per couple.
