The White House is criticizing Gov. Tim Walz amid the Minnesota fraud scandal. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News, “[President Donald Trump] believes that Governor Walz is criminally liable, and I think the Department of Justice is going to find out.”
The former running mate for Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election recently announced that he would not run for a third term as governor, and he is now under pressure over the widespread fraud being exposed in the state.
In other news, the fraud being uncovered in Minnesota might not be limited to just that state. Similar forms of welfare fraud are now being found across the country, and President Donald Trump recently alleged that the situation in California might be even worse.
We’ll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.
