Trump tasks Vance with investigating "massive corruption" in cities and states governed by Democratic Party

President Donald Trump formally requested that Vice President J.D. Vance lead a thorough investigation into cases of alleged corruption and crime rates recorded in various cities and states governed by the Democratic Party.

"I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S.," wrote Trump on Truth Social.

In his post, the president singled out three specific states which he described as "poorly run, corrupt disasters."

"The Blue States, such as Minnesota, California, Illinois, and many more, are all poorly run, corrupt disasters. Billions of Dollars is [sic] being stolen each and every month," he said.

"Our Budget could be quickly BALANCED with the correction of this large scale criminal activity. CORRUPTION is in the Democrat Leadership’s blood!" the president concluded. "If the Democrats want to 'root out corruption,' they should start with investigating Blue States, perhaps the most CORRUPT governmental structures and entities anywhere on Earth."

In another post, Trump claimed that his political rivals are using alleged corruption in the White House to distract from the "MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION."

"The Democrat Party, lead by one of the most Corrupt and anti-American groups of political leaders and hacks in the history of our Country, and even the World, is doing everything in their power to get away from MASSIVE BLUE STATE CORRUPTION by saying, over and over again, that the Trump Administration is corrupt," Trump declared.
