Minnesota Fraud Probe Explodes — Walz Called to Testify as White House Warns: “Blue States Are Next”

House Oversight Chair James Comer has summoned Gov. Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison to testify Feb. 10 after the Trump administration froze hundreds of millions in child-care funds.

🔎 What’s driving the firestorm:
• Republicans accuse state leaders of being “asleep at the wheel” as investigators probe massive fraud.
• Federal prosecutors estimate billions in Medicaid funds may have been misused; the FBI is surging agents.
• The White House signals California and New York could face similar investigations next.

🗣️ Walz responds: He calls the probe politically motivated, saying Minnesota has worked for years to combat fraud and that the funding freeze hurts families.
