Walz, Ellison to Testify on Minnesota Fraud in March

Gov. Walz and AG Ellison will testify before Congress on March 4 amid allegations that up to $9 billion in federal funds were fraudulently used in Minnesota programs.

  • On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Walz and Ellison will testify before the U.S. House Oversight Committee, as scheduled, with Comer confirming their appearance and questioning under oath.
  • After a Jan. 7 hearing, the committee expanded requests, as Chair Comer alleged the state tried to cover up fraud and retaliate against whistleblowers.
  • Data cited by investigators point to $18 billion allocated to 14 programs since 2018 and an estimate that roughly half may be fraudulent, according to prosecutors' estimates.
  • Rep. James Comer said the committee will question Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison under oath to seek transparency and accountability, aiming to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.
  • In recent months, Minnesota launched audits of 14 high-risk Medicaid programs and appointed Tim O'Malley to lead fraud prevention, amid ongoing investigations into state-funded program fraud.
