Today, in Minnesota, the Justice Department charged 15 defendants in a major fraud crackdown involving over $90 million in losses — including the largest Medicaid fraud cases in the history of the district.

These criminals allegedly stole from our country's most vulnerable: children with autism, the disabled, and the homeless. In one case, services were allegedly billed but never provided, leading to the death of the supposed recipient. This will not be tolerated.

Minnesota will no longer serve as a safe haven for fraud, nor will any state in this country.

This @DOJFraudDiv under Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald and in partnership with @VP's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, will hunt down fraudsters wherever they are and systematically dismantle their predatory schemes.

NEW: Trump tells Congress "hostilities" with Iran have "terminated" as conflict hits 60-day deadline.

In a letter to lawmakers on Friday, the president argued the U.S.-Iran ceasefire brokered in early April effectively terminated active hostilities, and therefore paused the legal countdown. Democrats disagree.
