“Last fiscal year, the Department of Justice recovered $6.8 billion through False Claims Act settlements and judgments, marking the highest single-year total in the law's 160-year history. Nearly 1,300 of those cases were brought not by the government authorities, or the auditors, but by whistleblowers who came forward on their own, accounting for more than $5.3 billion of that recovery.”House Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight (Begich): Safeguarding Federal Research Funds · Jun 24, 2026
