From the government’s renewed use of its dismissal authority to changes to the policy on corporate cooperation credit, the second year of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement under the Trump administration was defined by several announcements concerning how the Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue cases under the FCA. These policy reforms are among the many FCA developments highlighted by C&M attorneys in a "Feature Comment" published in The Government Contractor, which considers key issues such as small business fraud, materiality post-Escobar, trade and domestic preferences, and the Supreme Court’s review of a circuit split concerning the statute of limitations.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
