The White House rolled out The Fraud Ledger, an interactive map tracking $230 billion in suspected fraud tied to federal programs and enforcement actions.
The White House on Thursday unveiled The Fraud Ledger, an interactive public dashboard that tracks billions of dollars in suspected waste, fraud and financial corruption identified by the Trump administration across federal programs. The site pulls together cases, recoveries, criminal charges and enforcement actions gathered since January 2025 by the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a panel chaired by Vice President JD Vance.
The launch gives the administration a centralized way to present what it describes as a broad crackdown on misuse of federal money. Rather than releasing isolated updates, the White House is using the online tracker to organize investigations and enforcement actions into a single national view. The dashboard is designed to show how allegations of fraud have been identified, how agencies have responded and where recovery efforts are still underway.
According to the White House, the task force has uncovered roughly $230 billion in suspected fraud. The tracker places the Small Business Administration at the top of the list with $122.9 billion in uncovered fraud, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services with $96.2 billion. The administration also says it has halted $56 billion in fraudulent payments intended for criminal actors and carried out more than $55 billion in total enforcement actions.
The data on the portal is compiled from public records and submissions from federal agencies, giving the site a mix of accounting and enforcement detail. The White House says the task force’s work includes ongoing investigations, criminal charges, financial recoveries and other actions taken since it was established earlier this year. The figures are presented as part of a larger effort to document where federal programs have been vulnerable to abuse and how aggressively the administration says it is responding.

A prominent feature of the website is a national map highlighting the task force’s 10 highest-impact enforcement actions since January 2025. The map is intended to show the geographic reach of the investigations and the scale of the cases that have drawn the administration’s attention. Among the examples highlighted is the suspension of federal payments to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority while a fraud investigation continues. The site also includes a section devoted to individuals arrested in what the administration describes as its most egregious cases.
The portal points to a wide range of active prosecutions and investigations, including alleged Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the misuse of COVID-19 relief loans and the large Feeding Our Future case in Minnesota. Those categories reflect some of the most common areas of alleged federal program abuse in recent years, from healthcare billing schemes to pandemic-era loan fraud. By placing them together, the White House is signaling that its fraud campaign is intended to reach across agencies and funding streams rather than focus on a single program.
Fraud enforcement has remained a central priority for the Trump administration, which has paired public messaging with coordinated investigations and law enforcement actions. In June, the Justice Department said more than 450 people were charged in an operation involving schemes totaling more than $6.5 billion. That case showed the scale of the administration’s broader push and provided a backdrop for the new dashboard, which extends the effort into a more public-facing format.
The launch of The Fraud Ledger also comes amid a broader political emphasis on government accountability, especially where federal benefits, grants and loans are concerned. By highlighting alleged losses, suspended payments and enforcement totals, the White House is presenting the task force as both a watchdog and an active enforcement body. The dashboard will likely continue to evolve as investigations move forward, new charges are filed and additional recoveries or payment blocks are added to the public record.
