This Minnesota fraud story just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
And maybe, just maybe, Republicans will do something more than pointless hearings and strongly worded letters.
The Oversight Committee is ready to do a little overseeing and they are digging into the communications from Tim Walz as well as Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to try to determine how much they knew about the fraud and what, if anything, they did to stop it.
Here's what Representative James Comer wrote to Tim Walz:
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating reports of widespread fraud in Minnesota's social services programs. The Committee has serious concerns about how you as the Governor, and the Democrat-controlled administration, allowed millions of dollars to be stolen. The Committee also has concerns that you and your administration were fully aware of this fraud and chose not to act for fear of political retaliation. The Committee therefore requests documents and communications showing what your administration knew about this fraud and whether you took action to limit or halt the investigation into this widespread fraud.
Keith Ellison also got his letter in the mail from Comer, asking for his communications with the governor's administration as well as other documents related to the fraud case.
The Committee has given the duo until December 17 to produce all of the documents related to the case.
Take a bow, Tim!
