A TASK FORCE FOR COMBATING FRAUD: President Donald J. Trump is establishing a task force to promote market integrity and to combat consumer fraud.

President Trump is signing an Executive Order that will establish a Task Force on Market Integrity and Consumer Fraud (Task Force) within the Department of Justice.

The Task Force replaces the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force established in 2009.

The Task Force will provide the President with recommendations on regulatory and legislative changes needed to improve the investigation and prosecution of fraud and other financial crimes that cause harm to American consumers, investors, and markets.

The Task Force will also make recommendations to President Trump to enhance cooperation among agencies in their efforts to investigate and prosecute fraud.

The Executive Order places new emphasis on the growing problems of cyber fraud and fraud targeting the elderly.
