WATCH: Trump and Vance Destroy Leftist Hack Raising Issue With 1% Commissions to Fraud Whistleblowers

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance dismantled a reporter’s dishonest and nasty question aimed at discrediting President Trump’s Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump announced the new program, promising a 1% “commission” to Americans, including journalists, who report the theft of taxpayer dollars to the new tip line. “It’s a lot of money, and if it’s 10 billion, 200 billion, 400 billion, we’re giving a 1% commission to that person,” Trump told reporters, suggesting that it could be the “largest commission ever paid” given the trillions of dollars in fraud to be uncovered.

But the Independent’s Andrew Feinberg suggested that the fraud is nonexistent; then he attacked Trump for only offering a 10% reward.

Feinberg referenced the False Claims Act, a federal law that allows private individuals to sue entities on behalf of the federal government for defrauding public programs, but does not guarantee payment and requires the government to intervene and win the suit. One must also be represented by a lawyer to file a lawsuit under the False Claims Act, which could award up to 25% — if successful.

Meanwhile, all a person must do under the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program is report a credible, actionable tip to the federal government.

“You’re offering 10% to whistleblowers for turning in what you’re describing as fraud,” he said before being corrected on the percentage. “1%? Okay, that’s actually worse. The False Claims Act, which has been on the books since 1863, whistleblowers can get between 10 and 25% in qui tam lawsuits,” he continued before finally asking a question. “Why would someone who has evidence of genuine fraud go to–” he said as Trump cut him off.

“Because it’s a lot of money, and because when they did that, that’s a certain type of crime. But nobody ever thought that you could have stolen $2 trillion or whatever the ultimate number is going to be, and at 1% people will make millions and millions of dollars for turning in what actually is a somewhat routine crime of, you know, of millions of millions,” Trump said. “But we’re talking about we’re talking about billions and actually probably trillions of dollars.”

Vice President Vance, a Yale-educated attorney, then added to the pile-on, slamming Feinberg for his “fundamentally dishonest question,” noting that ” over 99% of the fraud that we’re finding in the federal government isn’t covered by the False Claims Act.”

“What the president is saying is he wants all fraud to be the sort of thing where if you find it, if you uncover it, you find evidence, and allow us to undo the money, you should be able to benefit, not just a very narrow slice that’s covered by the False Claims Act,” he said.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump went on to berate Feinberg two more times during the press conference as he tried to shout questions at the President.

Trump erupted at Feinberg, saying, “I don’t know who the hell you are, but you better be careful.”

He later went off shouting, “Quiet, Quiet! What’s wrong with you? Are you a sick person?” Trump continued, “I actually think there’s something wrong with you.”

In Feinberg’s recollection of the event, Trump became “so spun up over a law that’s been on the books since Abraham Lincoln was president.” Feinberg, who declined to comment to The Gateway Pundit on his spar with Trump, penned a piece for the Independent, complaining about the humiliation he endured in the Oval Office and the subsequent social media firing squad.

“For doing my job, I became the target of Trump and his team. Soon after, Trump lectured and unleashed at me his White House rapid response called me a “Mongoloid Moron” – which is a slur for someone with development disabilities, a phrase I would never use – and the Vice President on his official government account labeled me an ‘imbecile,’” he whined.

Feinberg also lashed out at Vance on social media earlier.
