Walz and Ellison Face Partisan Scrutiny Over Minnesota Fraud at House Hearing

At a House Oversight Committee hearing, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison defended their handling of a massive fraud scandal centered on Feeding Our Future, while Republicans pressed for sworn depositions and alleged a cover-up; Democrats highlighted the Trump immigration surge and its impact on Minnesota, with Walz calling the crackdown politically motivated and Ellison saying it harmed the state. The committee released a report alleging concealment of fraud and questioned when the leaders first learned of investigations.
