| 0:00.0 | Sunday, May 31st, 26. I'm Jessica Rosenthal. State attorneys general have met with the |
| 0:09.0 | vice president and the fraud task force as states are told to do more to cooperate with the federal |
| 0:14.7 | government in rooting out fraud. What was so interesting and unique is this recognition that we |
