OPERATION GHOSTBUSTERS 👻🇺🇸 Kenyan nationals used stolen American identities to commit fraud by funneling federal student aid for their own personal gain and co-conspirators overseas. Fraudsters like these are being crushed under @WHFraudTF and @TheJusticeDept leadership.

.@AAGMcDonald gives an update on Operation Ghostbusters, a nationwide investigation into federal student loan fraud: "Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme, and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals... Whether you’re in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you and bring you to justice. The American people deserve better than ghost students, fake applications, and stolen aid."

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump DOJ uncovered a MULTIMILLION dollar student loan fraud scheme perpetrated in part by KENYANS in America These Kenyans were STEALING American identities, applying for student loans, then sending that money back to KENYA SEND THEM ALL BACK. We DO NOT need these people here. Multiple Kenyans have now been indicted by federal grand juries on SEVERAL federal charges, including theft of government money and aggravated identity theft. American victims — some of which never went to college — were victims of this scheme, had their identities stolen, and their credit absolutely WRECKED. These third worlders are absolute scumbags.

Linda McMahon is in Nashville today for a major speech on the future of American colleges, we have a preview on @realDailyWire. It’s an incredible speech—in many ways a sequel to Marco Rubio’s speech in Greece. Why did she pick Nashville? Because Vanderbilt is proactively reforming, and should be an example for the rest of the country, she says dailywire.com/news/linda-mcm…

Why is it so important that we return education to the states? Because the status quo is failing too many students. Washington has spent more than $3 trillion on education over nearly five decades, yet kids can’t read or do math. Our children deserve better. It’s time to put parents, communities, and states back in the driver’s seat.
