US EditionJim Jordan Grills Tim Walz on Minnesota Fraud Scandal: ‘Why Didn’t You Tell the Truth?’
Rep. Jordan challenged Gov. Walz on why payments resumed despite fraud concerns, citing $9 billion stolen and 85% of indicted individuals being Somali-American, fueling debate on political influence.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Jim Jordan pressed Gov. Tim Walz at a House Oversight Committee hearing about why Feeding Our Future payments resumed; Walz said the agency believed the court required them, but Jordan cited Judge John Guthmann calling that false.
- State auditors flagged `serious deficiencies` after rapid growth, prompting a payment pause to Feeding Our Future, nonprofit created on March 30, 2021, which led to a court dispute led by Aimee Bock.
- Federal prosecutors said last December more than $9 billion was ripped off, and Jordan noted 85% of the 98 people indicted were Somali-American, citing a Somali-American investigator's concerns about `political backlash`.
- Responding to questioning, Walz said he `couldn't speak` for what the Somali-American investigator said and added he didn't think the issue was `settled`, while insisting `I don't — we don't investigate or prosecute people based on ethnicity`.
- Questions remain about accountability as Rep. Jim Jordan asked whether the restart related to the fraud scheme and interjected `And that was false, wasn't it?` amid conflicting court records and statements.
