President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have launched a whistleblower programme offering cash rewards for reporting fraud, but conflicting statements from Trump and the Justice Department have raised questions about how much tipsters could receive.
Trump announced the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP) alongside Vance, who leads the administration's fraud task force, at the White House on Tuesday. The president said he would personally decide who deserved a reward, despite official guidance outlining specific eligibility requirements.
