WASHINGTON – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee in March.
Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, announced the news Friday, saying the pair will testify on Wednesday, March 4 at 9 a.m. CT.
“Americans deserve answers about the rampant misuse of taxpayer dollars in Minnesota’s social services programs that occurred on Governor Walz’s and Attorney General Ellison’s watch. The House Oversight Committee recently heard sworn testimony from Minnesota state lawmakers who stated that Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison failed to act to stop this widespread fraud and retaliated against whistleblowers who raised concerns. We look forward to questioning Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison under oath about this scandal to ensure transparency and accountability for the American people, and to advance solutions to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse and impose stronger penalties on those who defraud taxpayers,” said Chairman Comer.
The hearing is regarding ‘fraud and misuse of federal funds in Minnesota,’ according to a release.
