Ohio, home to the country’s second-largest Somali population, has a multibillion-dollar Somali fraud crisis similar to the scandal in Minnesota, members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform warned this week.

Brandon Gill (R-TX), chairman of the House oversight committee’s task force on exposing institutional abuses, at a hearing on Wednesday examining fraud in Ohio’s Medicaid program.
