Vance demands DOJ probe of Minnesota officials as White House presses 'war on fraud'

Vice President JD Vance is calling for a federal probe into the administration of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison, citing allegations of widespread social services fraud. According to reports, Vance is urging federal prosecutors to investigate claims that Walz's office and Ellison's office failed to take adequate action to prevent or address the suspected fraud, which could have resulted in millions of dollars in taxpayer funds being misused. The allegations have sparked concerns about the effectiveness of the state's social services programs and the accountability of those in charge. As the federal government continues to scrutinize state-level corruption, Vance's push for an investigation could have significant implications for the Minnesota governor and attorney general.
