Pete Buttigieg says he almost feels sorry for Vice President JD Vance over Vance’s new role as the Trump administration’s so-called “fraud czar,” after President Trump publicly designated Vance to lead a nationwide “war on fraud” during his 2026 State of the Union address.
In an interview with The Bulwark, Buttigieg said, “JD Vance is gonna have a lot of work to do if he’s gonna be the new fraud czar. Given the fraud convictions of the Trump organization, Trump figured out that he should outsource the investigation to somebody else in the administration. I’m a little worried about what’s in store for JD Vance if he takes that mandate seriously.”
