EXCERPT:
The House Oversight report landed Monday. By Monday night, it had teeth.
Vice President JD Vance announced that he referred allegations involving Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to the Justice Department’s Fraud Division for a potential criminal investigation over alleged fraud in federally funded social services programs.
Vance made the announcement on Fox News when asked about the freshly released committee report.
“We’re certainly going to investigate this, Jesse,” Vance said, according to Fox News. “And before I did, we actually referred this particular case to the Department of Justice for a full criminal investigation.”
I’ve referred these allegations to DOJ’s new Fraud Division for criminal investigation. Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimated whistleblowers, they must face justice. https://t.co/EatSBh9Gh6 pic.twitter.com/7JeFcgkTV0
