President Trump on Wednesday nominated federal prosecutor Colin McDonald to serve as assistant attorney general for a new Justice Department division tasked with rooting out fraud. McDonald previously served for about a decade as a federal prosecutor in California's Southern District. McDonald, whose nomination will require Senate approval, will be tasked with overseeing a new division dedicated to rooting out fraud against the government. Multiple offices across the Justice Department in Washington and in the country's U.S. Attorney's offices already investigate both criminal and civil fraud cases, from healthcare fraud to violations of the False Claims Act. The Justice Department is surging prosecutorial resources from other offices to Minnesota to handle the workflow, and it has also sought assistance from the Pentagon for assistance from its military attorneys and forensic auditors.
