"He forced the witnesses to admit how long Minnesota officials knew about the fraud, whether Governor Walz was aware, and whether political loyalty played a role in the cover-up."
"A freshman congressman out of Texas just walked into Washington and lit a match. While most new reps spend their first term learning where the cameras are and how to sound important on cable news, Brandon Gill came in like a freaking house on fire and put his name on the map, thanks to one hearing. This guy, the youngest in Congress, just unleashed a series of rapid-fire questions that exposed exactly how deep and dirty the Minnesota Somali fraud actually goes.
"The whole thing unfolded during the opening of the House Oversight investigation into what may be one of the biggest taxpayer fraud operations in modern history. Billions that were meant to feed children, care for autistic kids, house the disabled, and fund Medicaid were allegedly used to buy luxury homes, flashy cars, and lavish vacations for Somali pirates. Also, there are credible reports and evidence that show a lot of that money was routed overseas to fund terrorism. And according to Oversight Chairman James Comer, state leadership in Minnesota knew it was happening and did nothing about it." . . .
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) delivered opening remarks at today’s hearing on “Oversight of Fraud and Misuse of Federal Funds in Minnesota: Part I.” In his opening statement, Chairman Comer emphasized that criminals in Minnesota have stolen an estimated $9 billion dollars—taxpayer funds intended to feed children, provide services to autistic children, house low-income and disabled Americans, and provide healthcare to vulnerable Medicaid recipients. He pointed out how Americans’ tax dollars were stolen by fraudsters to buy luxury homes, flashy cars, extravagant vacations, and, reportedly, even funneled to terrorist networks overseas. While Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and state Democrats failed to act despite repeated warnings, Chairman Comer stressed that the American people demand accountability—including jail time for those responsible—and insisted that Congress must evaluate legislative solutions to ensure this never happens again. . . .
