Summary

Since the start of the president’s second term, the Trump administration has vowed to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in government. This past week, Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling sat down with Fox Business’ Connor Hansen to discuss how his department is taking part in that effort. He explained how they’re cracking down on unemployment insurance fraud and other schemes that have cost taxpayers billions. He also discussed the money they have already frozen, and how much of the fraud is carried out by criminal networks linked to China, North Korea, and other foreign actors. You may have seen some of what Sonderling had to say during Connor’s reporting on the Fox Business Network... but he had a lot more to say about combatting fraud. He even shared some incredible examples of how people are stealing taxpayers’ money. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share FOX Business’ Connor Hansen's entire interview with Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling. Learn more about your ad choices.
