Mario Nawfal on X: " Trump was asked why his proposed fraud whistleblower reward is just 1% when an existing federal law offers substantially more. His response: “At 1% people will make millions and millions of dollars.” And he's got a point about the money. If someone exposes $500 million in fraud, even 1% is a $5 million payday. But the reporter's question is fair too. Why offer 1% when the False Claims Act already allows eligible whistleblowers to collect much larger percentages? Paying people to expose fraud makes sense. Paying them less than they might already be entitled to makes considerably less sense. Writer: Oliver https://t.co/MCXLFGxgGS"
