House Committee Subpoenas Gov. Tim Walz Over $250M COVID-19 Fraud Investigation

The GOP-led investigation focuses on the Minnesota Department of Education's oversight of funds intended for child nutrition programs.

Gov. Tim Walz has been ordered to provide documents by September 18 related to the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.
The scheme involved the misuse of $250 million in federal funds meant to feed low-income children during the pandemic.
Seventy individuals have been charged, with five convictions so far, in what is considered the largest pandemic fraud case in the U.S.
The Minnesota Department of Education has been criticized for inadequate oversight that allowed the fraud to occur.
House Republicans are scrutinizing Walz's actions as he joins the Democratic presidential ticket as Kamala Harris's running mate.
