Bondi Threatens Government Fraudsters After DOGE Bombshell

At the latest Trump administration cabinet meeting on Monday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned government fraudsters that a reckoning was coming.

Bondi voiced her gratitude toward Tesla CEO Elon Musk for exposing corruption through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.

“A lot of waste and abuse, but there is a tremendous amount of fraud,” Bondi stated. “And, Elon, thank you for your partnership. Thank you for your team. You have uncovered so much fraud in our government.”

Bondi also disclosed that a newly formed internal task force has been actively pursuing those involved in fraudulent activities.

“We will prosecute you,” she warned. “We have an internal task force now working with every agency sitting here at this table. And if you’ve committed fraud, we’re coming after you. Thank you, Elon.”

During the meeting, Musk revealed that DOGE had discovered the Small Business Administration (SBA) had issued over $300 million in loans to children under the age of 11.

“A case of fraud was with the Small Business Administration, where they were handing out loans — $330 million worth of loans to people under the age of 11,” Musk explained.

“I think the youngest, Kelly, was a nine-month-old who got a $100,000 loan. That’s a very precocious baby we’re talking about here.”

President Trump commended Musk and his Cabinet for their efforts in rooting out government waste and fraud.

“We’ve had many fraudulent contracts that were caught by the work that Elon and his people are doing,” Trump stated.

“And working with our people, it’s been brought to light. The fraud, not just waste and abuse, the fraud has been incredible.”

In addition to cracking down on fraud, Bondi said that, following President Trump’s directive, the Department of Justice (DOJ) would now seek the death penalty for individuals convicted of violent crimes.

“All of these horrible violent criminals that you’re hearing about around the country, they will face the death penalty federally within our country,” Bondi announced.

“And the drug dealers need to get out of here because we are coming after you,” she added.

“We’re going to have 94 great U.S. attorneys around this country, and everyone will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Another major announcement during the meeting came from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, who revealed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would be dissolved.

Noem highlighted that under the current administration, deportations had surged by 50 percent and lauded the U.S. Coast Guard for its record-breaking success in drug interdictions.

“We are, in the month of March — the last couple of weeks, increased our deportations by 50 percent,” Noem noted.

“So, we’re now not even just getting the worst of the worst out, we’re making sure that there’s consequences for being here and committing crimes in our communities,” she continued. “And, the numbers are continuing to escalate and to go up.”

Noem said that she was headed to El Salvador to visit the prison where the United States has been deporting Tren de Aragua gang members to.

“I’ll be meeting with the president and also Colombia and Mexico and talking about building these relations so that we can continue to get people out of this country that don’t belong here and take them home,” she noted.

Noem further detailed the administration’s strategy to secure the southern border and combat the fentanyl crisis, praising the Coast Guard for its decisive actions.

“The Coast Guard has done phenomenal work — I don’t know if you all have reported on it, but we have broken historic records in the amount of drug interdictions that they have brought in,” Noem added.

“We’ve re-positioned the fleet to go after the fentanyl crisis and go after the southern border and securing it, and they’ve done amazing work as far as that.
