Trump administration claims food aid fraud but critics say ‘there’s no evidence’

“It’s possible they believe that all these people are fraud, but I think they just really want to dismantle these programs, and I think they’re using fraud as an excuse, to be quite honest,” said Nuñez. “This is a program that somewhere, depending on the year, between 16% to 19% of all households in the United States rely on in some way. And they’re basically claiming that it’s rife with fraud and corruption and so forth and there’s just really no evidence to suggest that.”
