Mike Stuart continues to serve as HHS General Counsel pending his appointment to a position in the administration where he will continue to focus on fighting fraud for hardworking taxpayers.










washingtonpost.com/health/2026/01… It’s unfortunate that these Attorney Generals from these Democrat-led states are less focused on reducing fraud and more focused on partisan political stunts. HHS stands by its decision to take this action to defend American taxpayers. We identified serious concerns in these states that warranted immediate review and action. These same officials were complicit in this perpetuation of this fraud and allowing it to happen. Waste, fraud, and abuse will not be tolerated in the Trump administration.



Thank you, Mr. President, for standing up for children's health, gold standard science, and common sense.





AAP’s decision to hire radical, anti-Trump, anti-faith, and anti-mainstream counsel for its lawsuit against HHS sends a clear message about its true agenda. Democracy Forward’s client list reads like a who’s-who of radical special interests. Why were AAP’s grants canceled? Simple: the funding didn’t align with HHS’s mission or priorities. This is the same reason many other grants outside AAP were terminated. HHS is not obligated to fulfill AAP’s employment or spending desires with American taxpayer dollars. The arrogance behind this lawsuit is staggering — AAP seems to believe it’s their money to spend as they please. Wrong! It’s our money, and it’s HHS’s duty to protect taxpayers from wasteful spending. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. The days of unchecked funding for radical causes are over.
