Quantum technology will play a major role in the future of scientific research, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, and national security. This Executive Order recognizes the importance of winning the quantum race by keeping America at the forefront of innovation, supporting the workforce needed to build it, and ensuring these breakthroughs happen here in America. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

At this week's hearing, @RepNickBegich asked how many of DOJ's more than $52 million in cybersecurity-related False Claims Act recoveries in FY2025 stemmed from whistleblower allegations versus proactive government investigations.   DOJ responded that many of those recoveries originated from whistleblower-initiated cases and explained how whistleblower reports help inform enforcement efforts.   Watch the full exchange below. ⬇️

"The biggest investors in the world are called taxpayers."   During Wednesday's hearing, @RepHaridopolos emphasized the importance of protecting taxpayer dollars and ensuring accountability when federal funds are misused. He asked how the Department of Justice works to hold bad actors accountable and protect the integrity of federally funded research.   Watch his discussion below. ⬇️

Protecting taxpayer dollars requires strong oversight and effective tools to detect fraud. During Wednesday's hearing, @RepDarrellIssa emphasized concerns about the misuse of federal funds and asked whether agencies are leveraging available data resources to identify potential fraud and evaluate whistleblower allegations.

During Wednesday's hearing, Subcommittee Chairman @RepMcCormick raised an important question: Does the False Claims Act's record $6.8 billion recovery in FY2025 reflect a major enforcement success—or the sheer scale of fraud still occurring?   Watch expert witness Brenna Jenny's response below.

Combating fraud is essential to protecting taxpayer dollars and strengthening research security.   During Wednesday's hearing, @RepPatHarrigan asked how increased efforts to combat fraud have changed the day-to-day oversight and enforcement of federally funded research grants.

Today, I chaired a hearing in the House Science Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations on one of the most important tools Congress has to protect federal research funding: the False Claims Act. The federal government awards hundreds of billions of dollars in research grants every year. Some of that money is stolen or misused. The False Claims Act lets the government recover those funds and hold bad actors accountable. That is not a partisan position. That is basic fiscal responsibility. The American people deserve to know their tax dollars are funding real science, not fraud. This subcommittee will keep asking the hard questions until we get real answers.

American science delivers tremendous benefits for our nation—but strong oversight remains essential.   At today's Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee hearing, Chairman @RepMcCormick discussed the importance of ensuring accountability keeps pace with federal research investments and safeguarding taxpayer dollars.

Federal taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and integrity from institutions that receive billions of dollars in research funding.   Watch Chairman @RepBrianBabin’s opening remarks from this morning's Investigations and Oversight Subcommittee hearing on the role of the False Claims Act in combating fraud and strengthening accountability.

Tomorrow, our Committee will mark up bipartisan AI legislation focused on expanding AI education, strengthening the workforce of the future, enhancing security, and advancing American leadership in artificial intelligence.   Hear more from Chairman @RepBrianBabin, and tune in at 10:00 a.m. ET.
