House Oversight Launches Probe Into Gov. Tim Walz Over Nearly $1B Minnesota COVID Aid Fraud Scandal
The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has opened a new investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over what federal prosecutors call the largest COVID-19 relief fraud scheme in U.S. history. Nearly $1 billion meant for feeding low-income children was allegedly diverted through the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, with at least $300 million already tied to criminal charges involving 78 defendants.
Comer says Walz ignored early warnings from whistleblowers and allowed widespread fraud to flourish, even as employees of the Minnesota Department of Human Services accuse the administration of retaliation and suppressing audit findings. The Treasury Department has also launched an investigation into claims that some stolen funds may have been funneled to the terrorist group al-Shabaab, though no terrorism charges have been filed.
Walz denies negligence, insisting criminals are being prosecuted and warning against unfairly targeting Minnesota’s Somali community. The scandal has triggered national scrutiny, intensified political tensions, and raised concerns about the handling of pandemic relief funds across multiple agencies.
