What directive has President Trump given regarding fraud in the Social Security Administration?
President Trump has directed Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) team to investigate potential fraud within the Social Security Administration. According to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, though they haven't yet examined the financial records thoroughly, they suspect tens of millions of deceased individuals may be receiving fraudulent Social Security payments. This initiative is part of the administration's efforts to identify and eliminate government inefficiencies, though the claims of widespread fraud involving deceased benefit recipients remain unverified at this stage. The investigation represents a significant focus on financial oversight within federal benefit programs.
