The committee’s report, published Monday, alleged that Minnesota state officials, including Walz and Ellison, were “aware of widespread taxpayer fraud in federally funded social programs for years” and did not take steps to stop it.

The committee also wrote a letter Sunday urging Vance, in his capacity as head of the White House’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, to review Minnesota’s social services programs.
