White House Launches Fraud Tracker With Trump as Spiderman

Kylie Cooper / REUTERS President Donald Trump is cosplaying Spider-Man in a new, bizarre anti “fraud” stunt being pulled by the White House.

The Trump White House launched its “Fraud Tracker,” including a map of Washington, D.C., where users can click on various federal agencies to see the amount of apparent fraud the administration has uncovered.

“A new friendly neighborhood fraud tracker, tracking all the fraud we’ve webbed up,” the White House posted.

The White House says the tracker stems from “fraud, waste, and corruption identified by the Trump Administration’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud since January 2025.” That task force was not officially launched until March, 2026.

In the fraud tracker, the White House claims that, in total, it has uncovered $229.9 billion in alleged misused funds, but says it “stopped” only $56.4 billion of that.

The tracker then breaks down the fraud in several agencies.

For example, under the Department of Agriculture section, the White House asserts that it uncovered $6.7 million in fraud, stopped $507.9 million, and enforced $3 million in fraud.

The Trump White House has made uncovering what they call “waste, fraud, and abuse” a cornerstone of its political agenda.

It began with Trump’s friend-turned-foe Elon Musk’s chaotic “Department of Government Efficiency” mission.

DOGE set out to uncover Musk’s $2 trillion in federal fraud, a target that was later lowered by Musk to $1 trillion, before eventually projecting much smaller savings.

In the end, it only saw $215 billion in savings, as of DOGE’s last update in January 2026.

The failed DOGE project led to around 300,000 people being let go from the federal workforce across 27 agencies.

Tens of thousands of workers were later rehired with back pay after courts ruled they were unlawfully fired, and DOGE is expected to lose more money than it claims to have saved as its cuts are litigated in court.

The DOGE mission has often included fabrications and misrepresentations of what they have actually uncovered.
