Trump suggests he could be ‘arbitrator’ in DoJ anti-fraud whistleblower scheme

What happened: Donald Trump announced a Justice Department anti-fraud program that rewards tipsters whose submissions lead to conviction or significant federal enforcement, and suggested he could serve as "the arbitrator" of decisions in it. Why it matters: The president raised the idea of personally arbitrating cases where multiple people submit tips for the same alleged fraud, a role he described while announcing the program with Vice President JD Vance, who leads the White House fraud taskforce.
