Originally Published 4 days ago — by House.gov
The U.S. House Committee on Oversight held a hearing revealing that Minnesota has suffered approximately $9 billion in taxpayer fraud, with allegations that Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison ignored warnings, retaliated against whistleblowers, and failed to address widespread schemes, many linked to Minnesota's Somali community and overseas terrorist networks. Federal agencies are actively investigating and halting fraudulent activities, and lawmakers are calling for accountability and legislative reforms.
