“They’re not passing the Save America Act. They’re not turning over documents that would expose the entire country just how complicit members of the FBI and other deep state intelligence officials were during this Russiagate collusion while President Trump himself was president,” Eggers told Christina Bobb on Newsmax. “There’s this entire movement afoot which says: ‘We want to see actual reforms passed. We want to see voter ID passed. We want to see corrupt intelligence officials held accountable. And we don’t want to see the Senate continue to look out for each other.’”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has been under pressure to pass the SAVE America act, which would tighten voter ID requirements nationally. The Senate has also resisted releasing archival investigative documents that shed light on what senior leaders of the FBI were doing to push the Russia collusion story against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign against former Democratic Sec. of State Hillary Clinton.

“I worked with Peter Schweizer, and we wrote a book called Clinton Cash that exposed the very real crimes the Clintons committed on behalf of Russia,” Eggers told Bobb. “That investigation was actively quashed by the FBI [in 2016] while they were deciding to pursue this fake Russia outrage investigation. It just shows you the priorities of the American people have been dismissed or ignored for a decade or more by the political establishment.”

“Unfortunately,” he concluded, “the rest of these kind of mainstream political establishments, like the United States Senate and the intelligence deep-state apparatus, have yet to catch on.”

Abdiaziz Farah, already serving 28 years for his role in the massive Minnesota child-nutrition fraud, was sentenced to another 10 years after admitting he helped plot to bribe a federal juror with $120,000 in cash and the promise of more for an acquittal.

For Eggers, the prosecution is another data point in what he called a troubling pattern.

“The number of relationships you have just continues to add up,” Eggers told The National News Desk, arguing the potential criminal associations are becoming “a part of a much larger trend.”

Correspondent Geoff Harris highlighted a Daily Wire report alleging that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s sister incorporated a consulting company at an address linked to people convicted in the fraud, and aired old footage of Omar promoting Safari restaurant, which later became connected to the Feeding Our Future investigation.

Omar has denied knowing about the fraud, calling allegations against her or her office “flat out false.”

Eggers, however, says the political response deserves scrutiny too.

“Unfortunately, one party seems to be actively working to protect these criminal enterprises,” he said, “rather than working alongside the federal authorities to help root all of it out.”

The Government Accountability Institute Vice President pointed to a new Paragon Health Institute estimate: 9.2 million people enrolled in Medicaid expansion as of 2024 did not qualify under federal rules, an 88% increase in five years.

“We’re paying for 90% of it, which is why it’s created this perverse incentive structure for states to put people in that category as opposed to the other category, where we’re only paying 60%,” Eggers told OAN.

Traditional Medicaid populations include vulnerable groups such as low-income seniors and disabled children. Eggers argued that the lower federal reimbursement rate for those recipients gives states a financial incentive to classify more people as eligible for expansion.

He also connected the enrollment failures to voter-roll disputes, arguing that states such as California and New York show the same resistance to verification in both systems.

“They don’t monitor, they don’t take care of these programs, they don’t audit it,” Eggers said.

Eggers said Biden-era rules made the problem worse by preventing states from removing suspected ineligible recipients.

“The head of CMS had a letter on December 5th, even after Donald Trump was elected, saying states are still not allowed to stop this,” he said.

Eggers tied that permissive climate to the vulnerabilities exposed by the Justice Department’s recent $6.5 billion healthcare-fraud takedown, which charged 455 defendants.

He noted that providers, not only recipients, allegedly exploited the system.

“It’s the people that these states are contracting with to provide Medicaid services who are committing the fraud,” Eggers said, describing the enforcement effort as “a sophisticated prosecution.”

“I’m optimistic this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

Eggers said the Trump administration has now reversed the incentives by conditioning federal money on cooperation, audits, and fraud-prevention documentation.

“Election integrity or welfare integrity, they’re leveraging the power of the purse,” he said.

That pressure, Eggers added, is already encouraging states to launch their own anti-fraud task forces.

The goal, he argued, is not to destroy Medicaid.

It’s to keep fraud from destroying Medicaid for the people who actually qualify.

Watch the clip above.

The House passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, H.R. 7008, in a 232-198 vote on July 22, advancing new restrictions on stock purchases by lawmakers and their immediate families.

The bill would bar members of Congress, their spouses and their children from purchasing individual stocks. It would also require seven days’ public notice before covered shares could be sold.

Violators would face a penalty of at least $2,000 or 10% of the trade’s value, whichever is greater, and would have to surrender any profits. Lawmakers could keep shares acquired before the regulations take effect, while enforcement would begin 180 days after the measure becomes law.

On paper, it sounds like a long-overdue crackdown. Getting it through the Senate is another matter.

The legislation was bundled with a national voter identification requirement, turning two combustible political issues into one package. Just 13 House Democrats crossed party lines to support it, a warning sign for a Senate where opponents could use the filibuster to leave the bill stranded.

That may be the point.

The combination creates an election-year trap for Democrats. A vote in favor means accepting a voter ID mandate the party has fiercely opposed. A vote against allows Republicans to accuse them of protecting congressional stock trading.

Either way, vulnerable lawmakers get an uncomfortable question to answer before the midterms.

The underlying stock-trading controversy crosses party lines. Members of both parties can buy and sell shares while receiving government briefings, participating in hearings and considering legislation that could affect entire industries.

Critics argue the current system lacks the enforcement and transparency needed to reassure voters that lawmakers are not profiting from information unavailable to ordinary investors. They also point to changes made to the STOCK Act in 2013 as weakening the disclosure regime Congress had enacted only one year earlier.

H.R. 7008 would not require lawmakers to sell shares they already own, but its prohibition on new individual-stock purchases would begin closing a loophole that has battered public confidence in Congress.

Its prospects remain bleak if Senate Democrats filibuster the combined legislation. That would leave lawmakers free to continue trading under the existing system while both parties blame the other for blocking reform.
