The scandal still is unfolding in Minnesota, where failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is governor.
The suspicions are that the Somali immigrant community there has defrauded taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars, even billions, through various social benefit schemes.
Some cases already have been charged but it appears many more may result, and now Congress wants the facts.
To the point that the chief of the U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee says he may subpoena Walz for those answers.
“If anyone that has received correspondence from us thus far requesting information, if they don’t turn over that information, then they will get a subpoena. And we’re serious about this. We’re not going to back down,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Just the News.
That publication documented, “The massive fraud scheme initiated largely by individuals of Somali descent reportedly defrauded taxpayers of more than $1 billion through nonprofits like Feeding Our Future, which, critics and prosecutors say, falsely claimed to provide child nutrition, housing assistance, and autism therapy services to nonexistent recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Comer cited the decision by Minnesota officials, Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, to hide.
“You know, Walz gets due process, but the way he’s handling this, and the way Ellison, the attorney general, has kind of hid right now, makes me pretty confident that there’s a massive amount of waste, fraud and abuse that’s about to be detected here, and I’m going to predict that Walz’s political career is closer to an end than somewhere in the middle,” Comer explained.
Suspicions are that the schemers used fabricated invoices, meal counts, and attendance records for program beneficiaries, so those taking part could skim money for personal luxuries and more.
To date, there have been 87 cases charged and 61 convictions.
One analysis even documented that Minnesota taxpayers are the largest funder of the Somali Muslim terror organization Al-Shabaab, because the siphoned funds were returned to family and friends in Somalia, where the terrorists take a cut.
Comer continued, “I think what we’re going to find in Minnesota is probably happening in many other states. Minnesota could be, and hopefully is, the worst offender, but there are other blue states run by Democratic [Party] governors who refuse to turn over any data, not only to Congress, but to cabinet secretaries like Brooke Rollins who are trying to get a handle on programs like SNAP.”
Newsweek cited an X account, purportedly representing nearly 500 staff members at the Minnesota Department of Human Services, said Walz, is “100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota.”

Don’t let this story die, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz must be held criminally accountable.
“Over 480 DHS workers in Minnesota say Governor Walz covered up years of Somali linked fraud, totaling over a billion dollars.
