Trump’s New Fraud Whistleblower Program, Cornell Lawsuit Update, Ramaswamy Ad, and More.

About this episode

President Trump and Vice President JD Vance have launched a new $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program — or WHIP — that will pay people whose tips help lead to federal fraud charges. We break down who qualifies, what types of fraud are covered, when whistleblowers actually get paid, and why Trump’s description of a 1% commission and potentially million-dollar rewards doesn’t currently match the Justice Department’s written rules. Plus: an update in the Cornell Jane Doe lawsuit after Orazio Petito was dropped from the case because he was mistakenly identified as Chi Phi’s president at the time of the alleged assault, and a new dispute involving Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff. And in Quick Hitters: Vivek Ramaswamy’s controversial Amy Acton ad, the Pentagon’s Active Denial System “heat ray,” Ilhan Omar’s home raid, Meta’s $25 billion New Mexico penalty, Virginia Sen. Louise Lucas’ indictment and more. 1. Cornell Updates: Man Dropped From Lawsuit After Being Misidentified, Jane Doe Sends Letter That Cornell Administration Disputes (1:40) 2.
