What happened

At a press conference in Minneapolis on May 21, 2026, announcing charges in a $90 million healthcare fraud scheme, FBI Co-Deputy Director Chris Raia said the Bureau’s efforts to pursue healthcare fraud cases may not receive the same amount of attention as violent crime, but are just as crucial, according to the FBI’s description of its video of his remarks.

Why it matters

Healthcare fraud is a core line of the administration’s fraud enforcement record, and Raia’s appearance put the FBI’s deputy — not only its director — on the announcement podium for a nine-figure case. It is also one of the few on-record Raia appearances from his months as co-deputy director before he became sole deputy in October 2026.
