The House Oversight Committee has accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison of covering up significant fraud within the state’s social services programs. A report released before their testimony claimed they were aware of credible fraud concerns as early as 2019 but failed to take action, instead allegedly retaliating against whistleblowers. The investigation, which began in December, highlights inadequate oversight of programs like Feeding Our Future, leading to potential fraud losses of up to $9 billion. Walz has defended his administration’s efforts against fraud, attributing the issue to political attacks.
