‘Authority of a Special Counsel’ – BREAKING: Vance Announces New Assistant Attorney General Position to Investigate Fraud Nationwide (VIDEO)

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday attended the White House briefing to address the fatal ICE-involved shooting, nationwide fraud schemes, and other issues.

Vance announced the creation of a new Assistant Attorney General position to investigate fraud nationwide.

The new position will be Senate-confirmed, and Senate Majority Leader Thune has promised a swift confirmation.

“This is the person who is going to make sure we stop defrauding the American people,” Vance told reporters.

The new assistant attorney general’s work will begin in Minnesota after it was revealed that Somali fraudsters stole billions of dollars of taxpayer money in various schemes.

“It has all the benefits, all the resources, all the authority of a special counsel, but with two crucial differences,” Vance said.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi will not be supervising the new prosecutor.

Vance continued, “Number one, it will be run out of the White House under the supervision of me and the President United States.”

“And number two, it’s actually constitutionally legitimate. As you guys may know, the special counsel statute has some major constitutional questions,” he said.

“When we get the bad guys, we want to make sure we get them permanently, and they don’t have some legal technicality they can get out of, which is why we set it up as an associate attorney general,” he said.
