Trump Administration Appoints Prosecutor for Fraud Task Force

President Donald Trump’s administration has brought on Scott Brady, the chief prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case, to aid Vice President J.D. Vance’s new task force aimed at tackling fraud.

Brady not only led the prosecution against Hunter Biden during Trump’s first term but also functioned as the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania. His work primarily targeted health insurance scams and fraud linked to the coronavirus pandemic. Currently, he is addressing subsidy fraud as a special prosecutor at the Department of Health and Human Services, and he’ll be taking on the role of executive director for the task force.

“Freedom does not disappear after more than one generation.”

He had been specifically selected to investigate Hunter Biden, often referred to as “the laptop from hell.” This investigation looked into corruption allegations against the son of former President Joe Biden.

Brady noted in his biography, “My investigation into Hunter, despite the lack of a grand jury, uncovered real evidence of bribes related to Hunter and then-Vice President Biden, documented in Smirnov FD-1023, which mentioned a $10 million bribe involving Burisma Chairman Zlochevsky.”

The task force held its inaugural meeting last week, with Vance leading the discussions. During this session, he took aim at the Biden administration while commending various “anti-corruption measures” that Trump implemented in his second term.

Vance emphasized that “this isn’t merely about stealing Americans’ money; it also involves robbing them of essential services they rely on,” pointing out the increase in fraud under the current administration.

Brady’s official appointment was disclosed on Thursday, and he joined the task force’s first meeting on Friday.
