What was discovered about Social Security rolls and what is the administration planning to do about it?
According to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, officials discovered 8.7 million Americans listed on Social Security rolls, including some supposedly over 130 years old. This finding suggests potential fraud within the system, with possibly more eligible Social Security numbers than actual U.S. citizens. President Trump has assigned teams to investigate whether payments are being sent to deceased individuals or being collected improperly by family members. While they've identified these concerning listings, the administration is still determining the extent of potential payment fraud. This initiative reflects Trump's commitment to protecting the integrity of Social Security and ensuring legitimate beneficiaries receive their rightful benefits.

How is the Trump administration addressing concerns about Social Security?
The Trump administration is working to counter misleading narratives from mainstream media that suggest they are targeting Americans' Social Security benefits. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasizes that despite claims from what she calls 'fake news reporters' who are 'fear mongering,' the administration is not going after citizens' Social Security checks or tax dollars. Leavitt states she has been actively fighting against these narratives in Washington D.C. and wanted to 'set the Record straight' about the administration's position. Rather than threatening Social Security benefits, the administration appears focused on defending the program while addressing waste and fraud.
