Vance recommends DOJ criminal investigation into Tim Walz and Minnesota AG over state’s fraud scandal
Vice President JD Vance, who leads the White House anti-fraud task force, has referred allegations of complicity surrounding fraud in Minnesota, including against Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation.
The criminal referral stems from a House Oversight Committee report on an ongoing investigation that alleges âfraud warnings were elevated to senior levels of the Minnesota state government, meaningful corrective action was delayed or avoided, and payments continued long after credible red flags emerged.â
Detailing the report in a letter to Vance on Sunday, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer encouraged the vice presidentâs task force âto direct the appropriate executive branch agencies to conduct a thorough review of all of Minnesotaâs social services program integrity measures, oversight processes, reimbursements, and enrollment from 2019 to the present.â

Vance refers Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota attorney general to DOJ for fraud investigation
Vice President JD Vance announced Monday that he is referring Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison — both Democrats — to the Justice Department for a criminal fraud investigation involving social services programs.
“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,” Vance wrote on X, adding that his referral was prompted by a letter and a report from the Republican-led House Oversight Committee.
The committee’s report, published Monday, alleged that Minnesota state officials, including Walz and Ellison, were “aware of widespread taxpayer fraud in federally funded social programs for years” and did not take steps to stop it.
