华盛顿—— 特朗普总统周二宣布，联邦政府将向举报美国政府及纳税人遭欺诈行为的举报人提供报酬，但他表示将由自己来决定哪些人能拿到钱。
“我将成为所有这类决定的仲裁者，”这位总统在椭圆形办公室与负责政府欺诈专项工作组的副总统J·D·万斯一同出席的发布会上说道，“换句话说，我将判断此人是否值得获得报酬，而且我会——相信我，我会非常慷慨。”
特朗普表示，通过“欺诈举报人奖励计划”，普通公民身份的举报人将有资格获得其所举报欺诈金额的1%，即便举报的欺诈金额高达1000亿美元。不过America.gov/fraud网站显示，成功的举报人最多可获得3万美元报酬，具体金额取决于举报是否促成刑事指控。当哥伦比亚广播公司新闻记者要求特朗普就此作出澄清时，他表示举报人报酬没有上限，而且也不需要提起刑事指控。
“这就是答案。我见好就收了，”万斯打趣道。
这位总统承诺自己在决定时会“公平公正”。
“你们会立刻拿到钱，但决定权在我手里，”他继续说道，“如果有两个人为此争执不休，或许他们可以平分，或者按其他方式分配，但最终决定权在我。”
America.gov/fraud网站称，举报内容会被加密，并直接提交给财政部。目前尚不清楚由谁负责审核举报材料，不过该计划将由美国司法部负责管理。
该计划的首位受益人是尼克·雪莉，一位20多岁的油管博主，他曾发布视频指控明尼苏达州多家托儿所存在欺诈行为。周二他与特朗普一同站在椭圆形办公室中。
目前已有部分举报人可依据《虚假申报法》获得报酬，该法案允许部分举报人获得最高可达追回款项25%至30%的报酬，但相关要求十分严格。万斯表示，他们发现的“99%”的欺诈行为都不在《虚假申报法》的覆盖范围内。

Trump says U.S. will compensate fraud whistleblowers, and he’ll decide who gets paid: “I will be very generous”

Washington— President Trump on Tuesday announced the federal government will compensate whistleblowers who report people defrauding the U.S. government and taxpayers, but said he will decide who gets paid.
“I will be the arbitrator of all of these decisions,” the president said during his Oval Office announcement with Vice President JD Vance, who heads up the administration’s fraud task force, beside him. “In other words, I’ll determine whether or not the person is deserving and I’ll determine — and I will be very generous, believe me.”
Through the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, Mr. Trump said whistleblowers, who can be ordinary citizens, will be eligible to receive 1% of the amount of fraud they report, even if the reported fraud is $100 billion. America.gov/fraud, however, says successful whistleblowers will be paid up to $30,000, dependent upon the report resulting in criminal charges. Asked by CBS News for clarification, Mr. Trump said there is no limit to whistleblower compensation, and criminal charges aren’t necessary.
“That’s the answer. I quit while I’m ahead,” Vance joked.
The president promised to be “fair” in his decisions.
“You’ll get your money immediately, but I’ll make the determination,” he continued. “So if two people are fighting over it, maybe they’ll split it or maybe whatever, but I’ll make that determination.”
The America.gov/fraud website says reports are encrypted and will go directly to the Treasury Department. It’s not immediately clear who reviews reports, although the Department of Justice will administer the program.
The first person to benefit from the program is Nick Shirley, a 20-something YouTuber who published a video alleging fraud at childcare centers in Minnesota. He stood alongside Mr. Trump in the Oval Office Tuesday.
Some whistleblowers can already receive compensation from the False Claims Act, which allows some whistleblowers to be entitled to up to 25% to 30% of proceeds recovered. But the requirements are stringent. Vance said “99%” of the fraud they’re finding isn’t covered by the False Claims Act.
