James Comer: Governor Tim Walz's DHS May Have Been Fabricating Evidence ...
In a heated Congressional hearing, Minnesota State Representatives Walter Hudson and Kristin Robbins testified on the alleged $9 billion fraud scandal involving the state's Department of Human Services and the Somali community. Rep. Robbins detailed how the Walz administration allegedly blocked criminal investigations and 'backdated' documents to mislead auditors. Rep. Hudson attributed the dysfunction to political motivations, claiming the fraud was ignored to benefit the DFL voting base. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Eli Crane announced a bill to award the Congressional Medal to independent journalist Nick Shirley for breaking the story. The hearing took a sharp turn when Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) diverted the discussion to criticize President Trump's recent military action in Venezuela, accusing the administration of seizing oil assets illegally.
Washington — The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing Wednesday on a series of multimillion-dollar pandemic fraud schemes in Minnesota, with testimony from state lawmakers who House Republicans say "sounded the alarm."
Republican officials have argued for years that Minnesota was slow to act in what federal prosecutors described as the "largest pandemic fraud in the United States." But the issue saw a resurgence late last year — and it hasn't gone away, as the GOP puts pressure on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who announced this week that he was ending his reelection bid.
In December, House Republicans on the Oversight Committee launched an investigation into Walz's handling of the fraud cases. And committee Chairman James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, invited the Minnesota governor and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to testify before the committee next month.
"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota's social services programs," Comer said in a statement announcing the hearing. "American taxpayers demand and deserve accountability for the theft of their hard-earned money."
Rep. Jim Jordan TORCHES Minnesota Democrats for BENEFITING from fraudsters.
At a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan questions witnesses regarding the $250 million 'Feeding Our Future' fraud in Minnesota. Witnesses, including MN Rep. Kristin Robbins and Rep. Marion Rarick, discuss the alleged involvement of the state Department of Education and Attorney General Keith Ellison. A recording from the Center of the American Experiment is cited, alleging Ellison's support for the group. Rep. Stephen Lynch also questions the panel.
