Vice President JD Vance referred Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the Justice Department’s Fraud Division for criminal investigation Monday night, following explosive allegations that Walz and other state officials knowingly covered up widespread taxpayer fraud.

The House Oversight Committee released a report Monday morning alleging that Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of systemic fraud in federal social programs as early as 2019 — but failed to act.

“Minnesota state officials are not above the law, and if they facilitated fraud, lied under oath about what they knew, or harassed and intimidated whistleblowers, they must face justice.”

Vance wrote those words in an X post announcing the referral. His letter to Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald detailed the Oversight Committee’s findings, which allege the Walz administration spent millions of dollars on private investigators and law firms to silence staff who attempted to report the fraud.

The Oversight Committee wrote Vance on Sunday requesting his White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud review Minnesota’s social services programs in light of alleged efforts by state officials to cover up fraud reports.

President Trump announced a “war on fraud” during his State of the Union address earlier this year, calling Minnesota “the most stunning example” of corruption “plundering America.”

Minnesota came under national scrutiny after journalist Nick Shirley’s viral exposes of alleged fraud in the state’s Somali community in December 2025. That reporting led Trump to establish the Justice Department’s Division for National Fraud Enforcement in January 2026.

The charges remain allegations. The case has not been proven in court.
