Trump Nominates US Prosecutor as Top National Fraud Investigator

President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced the nomination of a veteran federal prosecutor to lead a new Justice Department unit focused on fraud, as the administration looks to refocus attention on the justification for its immigration crackdown in Minnesota that has grown increasingly unpopular.

Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, nominated Colin McDonald as “assistant attorney general for national fraud enforcement,” a role that requires Senate approval.
