A former Minnesota state trooper alleged this week that his bosses at the state Department of Human Services tried to bully him into quashing his findings of fraud in the state’s child care funding program.
Jay Swanson, a former criminal investigator for the DHS, also revealed that it was well known among Somali refugees in East Africa that Minnesota was the best place to go in the US to pull off child care fraud schemes.
And then, Gov. Tim Walz came into office — and Swanson’s entire department investigating waste, fraud and abuse was eliminated, according to Republican lawmakers.
The allegations, which came out Tuesday at a hearing for the Minnesota House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee, contradict Walz’s new “tough on fraud” stance after the FBI raided multiple daycares in the state.
The failed Democratic vice presidential candidate claimed that the federal investigations were the result of the state reporting fraud — an assertion that Trump administration officials said was laughable.
On the same day as the raid, Swanson delivered bombshell testimony at the state capitol, alleging that he was once ordered by his bosses to delete some of his findings of fraud in response to an inquiry from the Minnesota Legislature.
The request, he said, was a violation of law.
Swanson’s duties included interviewing owners and employees of the child care centers under investigation and said he learned that it was common knowledge among Somali refugees in camps in Kenya that Minnesota was the best place to operate a scam.
“They had heard you could run the scam in a number of different states, but it was easiest and you could make the most money doing it in Minnesota,” he said.

It is really scary that that crooked clown, Walz, could have been VP. How in the world did Minnesota ever elect a moron like that?
This makes perfect sense. Walz and his companions need to be arrested NOW.
Why now?
Sounds like a plea deal.
The Post readers’ comments on that article are spot on.
It would have been hidden, ignored or worse (expanded upon).
Thanks Jay Swanson, Nick Shirley and many others.
Democrats only have one playbook they recycle their scams with so they have to bury the playbook.
And then, Gov. Tim Walz came into office — and Swanson’s entire department investigating waste, fraud and abuse was eliminated, according to Republican lawmakers.
How to stop crime? Shut down an office investigating it... Tim Waltz should be in jail!!
“How in the world did Minnesota ever elect a moron like that?”
All the DFLers are bat guano crazy!
Looking forward to visiting MrsBBB333’s mother and father in the Twin Cities in late May...we are driving so we can bring box cases of liquor at 1/2 the price Montana State liquor stores...
I think if you asked students graduating from today’s High Schools, “Which political party supported slavery?”,
they would answer,
“Well, duh, it was those racist Republicans!”
Unfortunately, too many of today’s teachers are “liberals” who engage not in “education”, but in IDIOCATION!
Why isn’t this Gov. Tim Walz shit bag in jail already?
