Trump Launches Fraud Investigation
President Trump declared a “war on fraud” this week as he signed an executive order Monday, formally creating a benefits fraud task force. It will be led by Vice President J.D. Vance, and targets states such as Minnesota, Illinois, New York, Maine, Colorado and California. Alexei Koseff is the Washington D.C. correspondent for The San Francisco Chronicle and joins us today to explain what programs may come under scrutiny in the state.
Cracking Down on Kratom
Advocates for the herbal supplement Kratom tout its benefits as an energy booster and an alternative pain reliever to opioids. However, the evidence of its benefits remains largely anecdotal and the FDA cautions the public about the use of kratom for medical treatment. Meanwhile, authorities in California are working to end the sale of kratom products in the state. Today on Insight, we’re going to learn more from Dr. Rita Nguyen, the State of California’s Assistant Health Officer, and Michael Needham, who serves as the Chief of Emergency Response for the California Department of Public Health, and Dr. Rais Vohra, a Medical Director for California Poison Control.
