New Blanche Memo Confirms Shift in Fraud Crackdown: What the New National Fraud Enforcement Division Means for business
Hogan Lovells – On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum formally establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED), marking the most significant restructuring of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) fraud enforcement apparatus in decades. The new NFED will merge criminal fraud investigative capabilities under a single Assistant Attorney General, uniting resources from various divisions to enhance the detection, investigation, and prosecution of fraud against government programs.
