独家 - 唐纳德·特朗普总统正在为打击纳税人欺诈提供资金支持，准备向提供线索帮助将欺诈者绳之以法的美国人提供奖励。
EXCLUSIVE - President Donald Trump is putting cash behind his crackdown on taxpayer fraud, preparing to offer Americans rewards for tips that help bring fraudsters to justice.
白宫一位官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，特朗普和副总统JD·万斯将在周二下午于椭圆形办公室与“消除欺诈特别工作组”一起公布一项2500万美元的“欺诈举报人激励计划”。
Trump and Vice President JD Vance will unveil a $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program during a Tuesday afternoon announcement with the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in the Oval Office, a White House official told Fox News Digital.
该官员表示，该计划被称为“WHIP”，如果提供的信息导致成功的欺诈定罪或重大联邦执法行动，将向符合条件的举报人提供高达3万美元的奖励。
The program, known as WHIP, will offer eligible tipsters up to $30,000 if their information leads to a successful fraud conviction or a significant federal enforcement action, the official said.
据该官员透露，特朗普还计划向独立记者尼克·雪莉颁发一张1万美元的支票，以表彰其揭露明尼苏达州涉嫌欺诈行为的工作。
Trump also plans to present independent journalist Nick Shirley with a $10,000 check for his work exposing suspected fraud in Minnesota, according to the official.
白宫发言人劳伦·比斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“每一天，特朗普总统的‘消除欺诈特别工作组’都在锁定对纳税人资金的猖獗滥用，给美国人应有的问责。本届政府对窃取美国人财物的个人零容忍。”
"Every day, President Trump’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud is zeroing in on the rampant abuse of taxpayer dollars and giving Americans the accountability they deserve. This administration has zero tolerance for individuals who steal from Americans," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.
该官员表示，司法部将负责管理这项新计划，美国人将能够通过 fraud.gov 提交线索。该倡议旨在鼓励独立记者和普通美国人举报涉及纳税人资金的涉嫌欺诈行为。
The Justice Department will administer the new program, and Americans will be able to submit tips through fraud.gov, the official said. The initiative aims to encourage both independent journalists and everyday Americans to flag suspected fraud involving taxpayer money.
雪莉于2025年12月发布视频，质疑明尼苏达州几家索马里裔经营的日托中心是否作为合法企业运营，从而引起全国关注。他的视频显示设施显然空无一人，并采访了表示未在该地点见到儿童的人员。
Shirley drew national attention in December 2025 after publishing a video questioning whether several Somali-run Minnesota day care centers were operating as legitimate businesses. His video showed apparently empty facilities and included people who said they had not seen children at the locations.
白宫将调动联邦调查局（FBI）和国土安全部资源涌入明尼苏达州、随后展开调查、逮捕并提出新指控的功劳归于雪莉的报道。
The White House credited Shirley’s reporting with helping spur a surge of FBI and Department of Homeland Security resources into Minnesota, followed by investigations, arrests and new charges.
雪莉视频中提到的一家机构是“未来领袖早期学习中心”，其前首席执行官法希马·埃格·马哈穆德于7月承认电信诈骗和合谋欺诈美国罪名成立。
One facility featured in Shirley’s video was Future Leaders Early Learning Center, whose former CEO, Fahima Egeh Mahamud, pleaded guilty in July to wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
检方称，马哈穆德通过虚假的儿童看护援助申请骗取了460多万美元，并通过与“喂养我们的未来”丑闻有关的联邦儿童营养计划骗取了85万美元。
Prosecutors said Mahamud stole more than $4.6 million through false child care assistance claims and $850,000 through a federal child nutrition program connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal.
雪莉此前曾指出，马哈穆德的认罪证明了他的报道属实，这发生在一些人试图抹黑他调查的背景下。
Shirley previously pointed to Mahamud’s guilty plea as vindication of his reporting amid efforts to discredit his investigations.
“数字不会撒谎，定罪也不会撒谎，”他此前曾对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
"Well, numbers don't lie, and convictions don't lie either," he previously told Fox News Digital.
这项奖励计划为政府打击联邦福利项目欺诈的更广泛行动增加了一个公众举报激励机制。
The reward initiative adds a public tip incentive to the administration’s broader campaign against fraud in federal benefits programs.
特朗普于3月成立了“消除欺诈特别工作组”，由万斯担任主席。该行政命令指示该小组协调联邦各机构的力量，揭露欺诈行为，加强资格审核，防止不当支付。
Trump established the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in March, with Vance serving as chairman. The executive order directed the group to coordinate efforts across federal agencies to uncover fraud, strengthen eligibility checks and prevent improper payments.
根据白宫官员的说法，在新计划下，仅提交指控不足以使某人获得奖励。举报必须导致成功的欺诈定罪或重大的联邦执法行动。
Under the new program, submitting an allegation alone would not qualify someone for a reward. The tip must lead to a successful fraud conviction or a significant federal enforcement action, according to the White House official.
