Schmitt Introduces Legislation to Establish Permanent National Fraud Enforcement Division
Introduced legislation to establish a permanent National Fraud Enforcement Division.
“Fraud is not a victimless crime. Codifying the NFED is the first step toward strengthening oversight and accountability on behalf of the American people.
