The Republican majority report from the House Oversight Committee alleges that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walz were aware of fraud risks in state social services programs earlier than they publicly stated.
It focuses on the “Feeding Our Future” case and broader alleged fraud in Medicaid and other programs, claiming losses ranging from hundreds of millions to potentially billions of dollars.
The report argues that both officials delayed stronger action and misrepresented the timeline of their awareness, citing internal interviews and testimony.
Ellison’s office rejected the findings, calling the report politically motivated and defending its record on prosecuting Medicaid fraud, Fox News has reported.
The committee is calling for further federal review, while both Walz and Ellison maintain they acted appropriately within their authority.
