[Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito @USLaborIG]

The people who watched billions get stolen are suddenly offended that @POTUS, @VP and @WHFraudTF are doing something about it.

We’re not here to protect Washington’s feelings.

We’re here to recover stolen money and deliver handcuffs. https://t.co/aUpzHJqhz1

[Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito @USLaborIG]

To every Veteran who answered our nation’s call: Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and service.

“This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue. It’s an AMERICAN issue.”

Fraud is a tax EVERY American pays but NEVER voted for.

Alongside @POTUS and @VP’s @WHFraudTF, @DOLOIG is fighting to ensure the next generation doesn’t inherit the bill.

[Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito @USLaborIG]

#HappyBirthday, @USMC.

Thank you for your service to this beautiful Nation.

.@IBM is pulling back on visa sponsorships. Funny how the corporate calculus changes when scrutiny shows up.

@DOLOIG investigators are working.

If your business model depends on nobody checking, find a new business model. https://t.co/e8YwfBzjv1

@DOLOIG @FBI @USAO_MD @WHFraudTF and @DOJFraudDiv delivered accountability.

Quality investigations = real justice. https://t.co/o7rArXVk4W

[Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito @USLaborIG]

.@VP said it: No fraud too big. No fraud too small.

@POTUS’ @WHFraudTF is delivering results through a whole-of-government approach.

Accountability is real. @AGToddBlanche, @AAGMcDonald and @DOJFraudDiv are proving it.

Quality @DOLOIG investigations = real justice. 🇺🇸

[Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito @USLaborIG]

FAKE business. STOLEN identities. REAL crimes.

Fraudsters pleaded GUILTY to stealing unemployment benefits meant for Americans in need.

@DOLOIG and @FBI helped expose the scheme.

Fraud is a tax you never voted for.

@VP’s @WHFraudTF and @DOJFraudDiv: making sure the bill comes due.

Every time I walk past the Faces of Fentanyl at @DEAHQ , I am reminded of the hundreds of thousands of Americans whose lives have been stolen by this deadly poison.

Their faces represent families, communities, and a nation that deserves justice. @TheJusticeDept

DEA remains laser-focused on pursuing the foreign terrorist organizations and criminal networks responsible for targeting American citizens and flooding our communities with deadly drugs.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET. WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN. WE ARE ON THE HUNT.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Today is my last day as White House Chief of Staff.  

Serving President Trump in the White House has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have been a part of what we’ve accomplished together from securing our border and cutting taxes to strengthening our economy and putting America First.

More than anything, I’m grateful for the extraordinary people I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. While my role may be changing, my commitment to the President and the mission never will.
