Pam Bondi vows to prosecute government fraud perpetrators

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced plans to prosecute individuals involved in fraud related to government funds. This statement came during a Cabinet meeting on March 24, which included President Donald Trump. Bondi praised Elon Musk for helping identify significant fraud through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) program. She highlighted the extensive fraud that has been uncovered, thanking Musk for his partnership and efforts. During her remarks, Bondi revealed that an internal task force is working with various government agencies to pursue those accused of fraud. She emphasized the seriousness of their efforts, warning, "If you've committed fraud, we're coming after you." The discussion also touched on violent crime. Bondi mentioned that the Department of Justice would seek the death penalty for those convicted of such crimes under Trump's directive. She stressed the need to address drug dealers and violent offenders strongly. Musk noted that his team discovered $330 million of waste linked to the Small Business Administration. He humorously pointed out that some loans had been given to very young children, including a nine-month-old receiving $100,000. Trump expressed gratitude towards Musk and the Cabinet for revealing fraud. He acknowledged the importance of this work in uncovering fraudulent contracts.
