The DOJ is offering members of the public up to $30,000 if they expose criminal fraud involving federal programs. Trump, 80, promised whistleblowers a 1 percent commission on wrongdoing they uncovered, saying: "I think that will be amazing because the kind of money that's been stolen is trillions from this country." The Department of Justice's new fraud whistleblower scheme has instantly backfired, with Americans bombarding it with demands to investigate President Donald Trump. Do you feel that the president thinks that he is above the law?

But the controversial scheme's announcement immediately provoked ridicule on social media. "I'd like to report Donald Trump, Donald Trump Junior, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, every Cabinet member that is currently sitting, and I'll get back to you with the rest," wrote one user. Another, Laurie, shared an image accusing the Trump family of profiting from cryptocurrency and overseas business deals. "I'd like to report this guy. You can put the $30K on my X card," she wrote. Do these American whistleblowers make good points?

The mockery kept coming. "I would like to report a man named Donald Trump," another user wrote. "Will we get money if we find fraud within the WH?" asked Andrea Sutton. A March New York Times investigation found that Trump had granted clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and others convicted in fraud cases across his two terms. Do you think the president is serious about removing fraud from the US government?

The Justice Department says its new program provides initial payments of $10,000 to $30,000 when qualifying information results in criminal charges. Participants may also remain eligible for additional rewards through other programs. Backed by $25 million from the Treasury Department, the initiative is part of a wider crackdown overseen by Vice President JD Vance. But Trump also faced awkward questions from traditional media during the scheme's Oval Office unveiling. A reporter challenged the president on why his proposed 1 percent reward was any better than existing provisions under the False Claims Act, which offers whistleblowers far larger shares of recovered money. "At 1 percent, people will make millions and millions of dollars," Trump replied. Vance also defended the initiative, arguing that it covers fraud outside the scope of the existing law. With 34 felony fraud convictions, do you trust that Trump is really searching for fraud with this new Fraud Hotline?
