Trump: Minnesota Fraud Tops $19 Billion
Newsmax ^ | Saturday, 31 January 2026 | Jim Thomas

Posted on 01/31/2026 8:24:46 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that “the theft and fraud in Minnesota is far greater than the $19 billion originally projected.”

The post came as House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison will testify under oath March 4.

The testimony will be part of a congressional investigation into alleged fraud in state-run social services programs.

In the post, Trump also attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Walz, and Minnesota officials, writing:

"The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it.

"Scammer" Illhan Omar and her absolutely terrible friends from Somalia should all be in jail right now or, far worse, send them back to Somalia.

"Governor" Waltz is either the most CORRUPT government official in history, or the most INCOMPETENT.

"Even a very low IQ person, of which there are many, should have known what was going on in Minnesota!!! President DJT."

Comer said Friday that Walz and Ellison will appear at a hearing titled "Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part II" on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET.

In that announcement, the committee said it opened its investigation in December 2025 after federal prosecutors described what lawmakers called extensive fraud and money laundering across Minnesota's social services system.

State sponsored bank robbery for votes, power, fake virtue, and 20%.

...and there will be much ado about fraud and the gnashing of teeth and then the politicians will close the theater down and no one will go to jail. With far too few exceptions, all of you politicians protect each other and do nothing to weed out the rotten apples. Time to vote the lot out of a job.

Talk talk talk - Chuck Colson did a 20 stretch in the federal lock up for a wiretap job on a couple low level committee staffers over at the DNC.

Walz ran with Harris for the Veep slot last year and won’t do a single minute in a holding cell. - ever

Watch

Yes, even if indictments come, it is likely that so many Democrat jurors cannot be impartial.

Trump: Minnesota Fraud Tops $19 Billion

Normally this would be amazing, and I don't doubt that it is true, but for this to be truly amazing would be if some Minnesota BigWig (Walz, Ellison, et.al.) went to jail!

“The Biden Administration knew this FRAUD was happening, and did absolutely nothing about it.”

No. The Biden Administration CREATED and ENGINEERED this fraud, from conceiving of bringing in turd-worlders during COVID to teaching them how to game the system and then turning a blind eye to it. As long as they voted “D” and paid the big, Walz, Ellison, et al were happy to ignore it.

Did the “Big Guy” get his 10%?

For example, the report highlighted a grantee who received nearly $680,000 from the Behavioral Health Administration for just one month of work but was unable to provide any documentation or proof that the work was completed. The grant manager who approved the payment then left the agency only days later to take a job with the grant recipient.

On January 7, 2026, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing on “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I,” where the Committee heard from Minnesota state lawmakers who have sounded the alarm on fraud.

Send in the FBI and ICE and get that money back. It belongs to the U.S. taxpayers. Not Ilhan Omar’s thieving rice and banana eatin’ bass turds. Do it! Then investigate how much of that money has been given to the paid fascist rioters. Get it back too. There has to be a reason that all those scumbag Minnesotans are out in the cold rioting. There is. 19 BILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS. They all are going to get a cut.

It really ticks me off all the crap they did to Trump when he left office, yet this piece of rat filth Biden is living it up on his very expensive pension when he should be doing life in prison for that open border, in my opinion the worst act of treason ever committed by ANY US politician in history. Thanks a lot Pam Blondie for doing jacksht about it

“Trump: Minnesota Fraud Tops $19 Billion ...
Normally this would be amazing, and I don’t doubt that it is true”

I’ll fully believe it when people are charged and we are shown solid evidence of the fraud.

Important message from Gov. Walz:

Keep moving, folks, keep moving. Nothing to see here. Keep moving.
