Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will deliver a press briefing at the White House this afternoon.
Bessent is the latest Trump Administration official filling in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt while she is on maternity leave.
Today’s press briefing comes as the Trump Administration focuses on its successes in busting fraudsters who are milking federal benefits for billions.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Vance, Chairman of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, and Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson, the Task Force Vice Chair, held a roundtable on Tuesday with over a dozen State Attorneys General to discuss the Trump Administration’s nationwide crackdown on federal benefits fraud.
Vance highlighted the task force’s success, telling reporters that his team has already identified tens of billions of dollars in fraudulent loans, reimbursement claims, and payments from federal benefits programs.
“We referred over $22 billion in fraudulent small business loans back to the Treasury for collection,” the Vice President said.
The Treasury Department is also involved in the ongoing investigation into far-left Code Pink’s ties to Communist Cuba.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has already issued subpoenas to Code Pink cofounder Medea Benjamin and communist influencer Hasan Piker over their participation in the “Nuestra América Convoy” to Cuba.
The briefing is scheduled to begin at 2 pm ET.

Jordan Conradson, formerly TGP’s Arizona correspondent, is currently on assignment in Washington DC. Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona’s elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth. TGP and Jordan finally gained access after suing Maricopa County, America’s fourth largest county, and winning at the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Conradson looks forward to bringing his aggressive style of journalism to the Swamp.
