Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-01) announced Wednesday that his committee will begin holding hearings on the growing Minnesota Somali fraud scandal next week. The first hearing is scheduled for January 7, and will feature the testimonies of three Minnesota Republican lawmakers. A second hearing is scheduled for February 10, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and its attorney general, Keith Ellison, invited to answer questions from Congress.
In his announcement, Comer said Walz and Ellison “have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota’s social services programs,” and promised “Congress will not stop until taxpayers get the answers and accountability they deserve.”
