President Trump announced Friday that Vice President JD Vance will take on a new role as "fraud czar" with a focus on investigating fraud in Democratic-led states.

Trump made the announcement Friday morning, stating that Vance's focus will be "everywhere" but primarily in what he termed "Blue States." The president specifically mentioned California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine, and New York as states where the efforts would be concentrated.

Trump characterized Democratic politicians in these states as "crooked" in his announcement. The president made a reference to Minnesota and Somalia in his statement, though the context of this reference was not elaborated upon in the available reporting.

The announcement represents a new formal role for the vice president, though details about the specific responsibilities, scope of authority, or operational framework for this position were not immediately provided. The designation of Vance as "fraud czar" appears to be an informal title rather than an official government position.

No immediate response was available from the mentioned Democratic-led states or their officials regarding Trump's announcement. The timing and implementation details of this new role have not been specified.
