Minnesota Fraud Probe Heads Back to House Oversight Committee as Walz and Ellison Prepare to Testify

  • On Wednesday morning, Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which will mark their first official appearances in the federal probe into the fraud scandal and include allegations they knew about credible concerns years ago.
  • Recent months, Republican members of Congress say Walz and Ellison ignored warnings and retaliated against state employees, prompting the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's expanded probe.
  • Federal prosecutors say alleged theft tied to children's meal and Medicaid services has reached the hundreds of millions, according to a 54-page report with roughly 40 hours of interviews.
  • Last week, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services paused nearly $260 million in Minnesota Medicaid funding, and Gov. Walz ended his campaign on Jan. 5 after unveiling an anti-fraud package.
  • Hours before the hearing, the GOP-run committee alleged Walz and Ellison knew of credible fraud concerns years ago and didn't act, purportedly costing taxpayers billions, linking it to broader federal enforcement and political fallout.
