Dozens of whistleblowers sounded the alarm on Minnesota fraud — and Tim Walz’s team silenced them
NY Post ^ | 06/10/2026 | Post Editorial Board

In the end, the most appalling thing about the ballooning US social-services fraud scandals is the eager collusion of state officials in robbing the public by the billions — with Minnesota the early prime example.

Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday asked the Justice Department to investigate and perhaps prosecute Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other high officials over the evidence laid out in a devastating House Oversight Committee report on benefit fraud in Minnesota.

The committee documented how more than 30 whistleblowers tried to sound the alarm on fraud, only to be silenced by the Democrats running the state — e.g., with explicit orders to “stop looking into” obvious fraud because the folks in charge feared being labeled “racist or Islamophobic.”

Worse, the state Department of Human Services actually investigated state workers who called out the fraud — tracking their phones, photographed their cars and even collected personal info such as their children’s schools.

A worker who emailed that she knew of noncompliant contracts approved by management that put “DHS funds at risk” found herself labeled “disruptive” and put on investigative leave.

Hotlines and other ways of supposedly reporting fraud anonymously turned out not to be, as workers’ confidential reports wound up being cited by HR as cause for discipline.

Walz and Ellison claim they had no idea any of this was going on — not the fraud, not the refusal to investigate it, nor the crackdowns on state workers who exposed it.

But the 205-page House report says otherwise, for example detailing Walz’s refusal to act on erupting fraud issues and even ordering investigators to stop looking into Child-Care Assistance Program fraud.

Why is this not on all cable news shows and regular tv news instead of Trump bashing 24/7

Sap-happy Democrats ran Minn w/ explicit orders to govt officials and workers:”
“stop looking into blatant fraud” (Dems feared being labeled “racist or Islamophobic.”)


It is a prosecutable crime to instruct public officials to cover up theft of
tax dollars. Such actions constitute serious federal offenses, including
<><>obstruction of justice,
<><>conspiracy to defraud the United States,
<><>and violations of the False Claims Act.

Instructing a public employee to conceal fraud, destroy evidence, or lie to investigators is a direct attack on the integrity of the government and is punishable under various statutes within Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

When is Tiny Timsu going to do the Kabuki walk or the Khatberry shuffle for us? The boy should have been in prison years ago.

Walz and the whole crowd of politicians in Minnesota ae not just helping their voters defraud the taxpayers. They are profiting financially from the corruption business. Nobody elps criminals without making lots of money from it. I hope the DOJ investigations establish the income flowing to the governor et al and then puts them all up on tax evasion. If it is good enough for Al Capone it is good enough for Walz and the Represantative from Somalia in the Congress.

“Suicidal Empathy” of the white man is easy to console with a few million dollars of bribes from those who want to slit your throat.

The Walz administration “retaliated against employees who tried to raise concerns, going to great lengths to keep them quiet, including intimidation through regular check-ins with high-level agency officials and threats of military surveillance,” the report revealed.

In addition to the 205-page report, the GOP-led panel sent a letter to Vice President JD Vance, who helms the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, urging him to conduct a wider probe.

“collected personal info such as their children’s schools.”
AND apparently threatened to harm their children!
That’s an IMPLIED THREAT if I ever saw one!
