The House Oversight Committee launched an investigation over Gov. Tim Walz‘s (D-MN) alleged awareness of, or possible role in, widespread fraud in the Somali community in Minnesota.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced the investigation on Wednesday, citing allegations of widespread fraud within Minnesota’s social services programs, Minnesota’s efforts to cover it up, and retaliation against whistleblowers. Comer sent letters to Walz and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison demanding a response by Dec. 17.
