Oversight of the False Claims Act

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Constitution and Civil Justice Subcommittee Chairman Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) released the following statement prior to the hearing:

“Next week’s hearing will examine the False Claims Act’s success, but also what more can be done to prevent, detect, and eliminate false claims costing taxpayer dollars, while ensuring fair and just results. Meritless cases hurt the cause of whistleblowers everywhere. This hearing will explore ways of improving how we root out fraud.”
