<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump has tapped the lead prosecutor from the Hunter Biden investigation to serve as executive director of his administration&#8217;s fraud task force, The Daily Wire can first report.</p>
<p>Scott Brady currently serves as special counsel for the Department of Health and Human Services, where he has been building the new HHS Division of Enforcement, <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/press-room/hhs-adds-former-us-attorney-fraud-efforts.html">focused on investigating</a> and prosecuting program and grant fraud. He served in the president&#8217;s first administration as the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, where he prosecuted health care fraud schemes, fraud related to the coronavirus pandemic, and directed the response to the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.</p>
<p>Notably, Brady was assigned to handle the corruption investigation into former President Joe Biden&#8217;s son Hunter.  According to a biography Brady shared with the White House, obtained by The Daily Wire, he was hand-picked to investigate Rudy Giuliani&#8217;s information on Hunter Biden — the &#8220;laptop from hell.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;In my investigation of Hunter, despite not having a grand jury, we were the only investigation which found an actual smoking gun detailing bribes to Hunter and then-VP Biden, in the Smirnov FD-1023, which detailed Burisma Chairman Zlochevsky&#8217;s $10M bribe to Hunter and Joe Biden,&#8221; Brady&#8217;s bio states.</p>
<p>In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in October 2023, Brady testified that he was able to discover that evidence in spite of the Biden FBI&#8217;s efforts to obstruct their findings. He alleged that the &#8220;Deep State fought back aggressively to delegitimize any Biden investigations,&#8221; including with personal attacks on himself via leaks to the media, as well as a DOJ OIG investigation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am proud to have served under President Trump in his first term, and I am excited to see an unapologetically muscular strategy being executed in the second term,&#8221; Brady states, according to the bio obtained by The Daily Wire.&#8221;As President Reagan presciently said, &#8216;Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation.'&#8221;</p>

<p>Brady&#8217;s appointment was settled on Thursday, an administration official confirmed, and on Friday morning, he attended the first meeting of the fraud task force in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. That meeting was led by Vice President JD Vance, who was joined by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson and Stephen Miller, and most of President Trump&#8217;s top agency heads.</p>
<p>“This is not just theft of the American people&#8217;s money,&#8221; said Vance. &#8220;This is also theft of critical services that the American people rely on.”</p>
<p>A fraud task force memo first obtained by The Daily Wire outlines Vance&#8217;s four-part plan to tackle United States fraud, including more prosecutions, better prevention methods, and targeting programs that are most ripe for abuse.</p>
<p>The task force’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-first-look-at-the-trump-admins-playbook-to-root-out-government-fraud">primary objective</a> is to stop fraud that is “bleeding the federal government dry, robbing taxpayers, and denying honest Americans the services for which they have paid,” and the team of top Trump officials plan to prosecute fraudsters and recover as much fraudulently obtained money as it can by focusing on high-spend, low-verification programs.</p>
<p>One of its immediate first steps, however, is instructing all members to report anti-fraud measures currently in place, and to share whether the Biden administration “failed to use available tools to prevent fraud, and to what extent.&#8221;</p>
