Trump nominates Colin McDonald to head new DOJ fraud unit targeting billions in stolen taxpayer funds.

Colin McDonald, currently associate deputy attorney general, has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as assistant attorney general for national fraud enforcement in a recently established Justice Department division. The position's goal is to stop widespread fraud in federal programs; Trump has mentioned billions of dollars that have been embezzled from taxpayers, especially in Minnesota and California. McDonald will supervise nationwide fraud prosecutions and coordinate efforts across DOJ units. McDonald is a seasoned federal prosecutor with experience in high-profile cases. His nomination, which needs Senate approval, is a reflection of the administration's desire for more accountability and enforcement in federal programs.
