While President Donald Trump said a whole lot of nothing during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, one point of note was his announcement that Vice President JD Vance would be overseeing a “war on fraud.” On Wednesday, Vance announced that the opening salvo in that war would be withholding $259 million in Medicaid payments from Minnesota. 

NBC News reports that Vance was joined by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz during the announcement.
