The hearing comes after numerous reports of widespread fraud across several Minnesota social programs, including the Feeding Our Future Program, the state's Medicare/Medicaid programs, daycare programs, and autism and adult daycare programs. A significant amount of money was even funneled to the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab.

While we don't have a firm number for the total amount of fraud, estimates suggest it's north of $9 billion and likely growing. We do know that the Medicaid fraud cost at least one vulnerable Minnesota man his life.

In a press release, the GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said the hearing, titled "Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I" will start with "Minnesota state officials who have sounded the alarm on and investigated fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs" on January 7.

On February 10, Governor Walz and AG Ellison have been invited to testify before Congress.

"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota’s social services programs. American taxpayers demand and deserve accountability for the theft of their hard-earned money. The U.S. Department of Justice is actively investigating, prosecuting, and charging fraudsters who have stolen billions from taxpayers, and Congress has a duty to conduct rigorous oversight of this heist and enact stronger safeguards to prevent fraud in taxpayer-funded programs, as well as strong sanctions to hold offenders accountable," Comer said.

"In addition to conducting transcribed interviews with Minnesota state officials," Comer continued, "the House Oversight Committee will hold hearings on fraud in Minnesota’s social services programs to expose failures, identify solutions, and deliver accountability. Next week, we will hear from Minnesota state lawmakers who sounded the alarm on this fraud—and whose warnings were ignored by the Walz administration. This misconduct cannot be swept aside, and Congress will not stop until taxpayers get the answers and accountability they deserve."

Voters are demanding accountability.

"What does accountability look like, exactly???" asked one social media user. "We the American people demand arrests, charges, and serving prison time in a federal prison for fraud. We also demand the trials publicly televised and available for our viewing pleasure. THAT is what accountability looks like to American citizens."
