Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison testify before the House Oversight Committee at a hearing entitled, "Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part II."
—
Minnesota’s welfare fraud scandal is returning to Capitol Hill months after it intensified into a national political flashpoint and federal agents swarmed the Twin Cities in an unprecedented immigration crackdown.
Wednesday morning, the House Oversight Committee will hear testimony from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz – who dropped his gubernatorial reelection bid amid the scandal – and state Attorney General Keith Ellison as part of the long-anticipated sequel to a tense January hearing over purported fraud rampaging the North Star State.
Hours before the hearing was set to begin, the GOP-run committee released a report alleging Walz and Ellison knew about credible fraud concerns years ago and didn’t act on them, despite their assertions otherwise, purportedly costing taxpayers billions. Wednesday’s hearing, which will mark Walz’s and Ellison’s first official appearances in the federal probe into the fraud scandal, is expected to focus on similar threads. Republican Chairman Rep. James Comer declared the hearing part of the Congress’ duty “to conduct rigorous oversight of this heist and enact stronger safeguards.”
