House Subpoenas Walz Regarding Alleged Fraud Scheme

The House Education and Workforce Committee is coming after Governor Walz with both barrels.

Minnesota was the subject of possible COVID-19 fraud before Walz entered the race, and that just got kicked up a notch with Walz named VP.

Now subpoenas have been issued to investigate what was one of the larger fraud schemes in the country, if not the largest.

Time to Investigate

The committee is demanding that the Minnesota Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture explain how millions of dollars were misappropriated from COVID relief funds.

These particular funds were meant to help feed children during the pandemic.

According to reports, fake names were being submitted to scam the MN Department of Education out of the money.

Walz is trying to cut this off at the pass by agreeing that the fraud was reprehensible.

His office called the scheme “an appalling abuse” of the program, adding, “The state department of education worked diligently to stop the fraud and we’re grateful to the FBI for working with the department of education to arrest and charge the individuals involved.”

The problem, however, is that the state Department of Education did not properly oversee the funding, which led to the abuse, and that is on Walz.

Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett stated, “What happened with Feeding Our Future was a travesty — a coordinated, brazen abuse of nutrition programs that exist to ensure access to healthy meals for low-income children.

"The responsibility for this flagrant fraud lies with the indicted and convicted fraudsters.”

And it would also fall under the responsibility of the people tasked with overseeing the project, which would be Walz and Jett.

Just because the Department of Education did not do anything wrong does not mean it is off the hook. They allowed a scheme that defrauded taxpayers out of millions of dollars take place right under their noses.

And this is the man that wants to be the Number 2 in the country, overseeing trillions of dollars of spending of taxpayer money… no thanks.
