Summary
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify under oath before the House Oversight Committee as part of an investigation into a massive fraud scandal involving the state’s welfare programs. The scandal, which could total up to $9 billion in taxpayer funds, has raised questions about Walz’s and Ellison’s oversight and response to the issue. The committee has launched an investigation and gathered testimony from state lawmakers, who alleged that Walz and Ellison failed to act to stop the fraud and retaliated against whistleblowers.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Walz and Ellison will take the stand, under oath, to answer questions about the scandal. The committee has already gathered testimony from state lawmakers, who painted a picture of systemic failures and ignored warnings. The investigation has been ongoing since December 2025, with Comer demanding documents and communications from Walz and Ellison. The hearing is set for March 4, 2026, and will likely be a familiar scene of questioning and testimony. The fact that Walz has announced he’s not running for office again adds a sense of closure to the proceedings, but the questions about accountability remain.
