Klobuchar Under Fire for Silence on Minnesota Fraud in 1,000 Press Releases

A Fox News Digital review finds Klobuchar’s office issued about 1,000 press releases from 2022–2025 addressing various fraud issues but did not mention Minnesota’s $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal or related fraud terms, drawing Republican criticism from House Speaker Lisa Demuth who says she spoke out less than expected as she campaigns on fighting fraud; Klobuchar’s campaign counters with a fraud-focused agenda and an audit pledge.

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.

Trump’s Fraud War Lands at the DOJ with a Career Prosecutor in Charge

In the wake of Trump’s pledge to wage a “war on fraud,” career federal prosecutor Colin McDonald was named to head a new DOJ division aimed at rooting out fraud. At his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, McDonald said he would follow the evidence and the law, but Democrats warned the role could be politicized and questioned the need for a separate unit. The administration cites Minnesota’s alleged $9 billion fraud as a focal point, while McDonald emphasized that his office would be complementary to existing DOJ fraud divisions and would report to Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Supporters say the plan would bolster anti-fraud efforts; critics worry about political interference and duplication across the department.
