GOP Chairman: Minnesota Governor "Asleep at the Wheel" on Fraud

A top U.S. lawmaker will directly accuse Minnesota's governor of negligence. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) plans to charge that Governor Tim Walz was "asleep at the wheel." The allegation concerns fraud that allegedly happened during Walz's time in office. Comer will make the statement at a congressional hearing on Wednesday. The hearing will examine the alleged fraud. The House Oversight Committee investigates federal operations. It has the power to hold hearings on suspected waste, fraud, and abuse. Governor Walz, a member of the Democratic party, has not yet publicly responded to the planned accusation.
