Newsom better ‘LAWYER UP’: James Comer
Fox News covers the House Oversight Committee’s launch of an investigation into alleged fraud in California’s hospice system. The segment features Chairman James Comer discussing what he characterizes as widespread billing irregularities in the state’s hospice providers.
According to Fox News, the federal government is taking action on fraud enforcement, with a newly confirmed deputy attorney general leading a new anti-fraud division at the Department of Justice. The network reports that when it reached out to Governor Gavin Newsom’s office about potential hospice fraud in Los Angeles, the office acknowledged concerns. Fox News claims Newsom’s office stated they are actively considering revoking licenses for 300 hospice providers, have already revoked 300 licenses, and have stopped issuing new ones.
Comer alleges the California situation is significantly larger than a previous investigation in Minnesota. According to the video, Comer stated that California’s fraud “could multiply what we found in Minnesota probably by 10.” Fox News reports Comer emphasized that hospice billing in Los Angeles County alone represents an anomalous concentration of national spending. According to Comer in the video, hospice billing in LA County accounts for $3.5 billion and represents 18% of all U.S. hospice billing despite the county not containing 18% of America’s population.
Fox News reports that Comer indicated the investigation will seek whistleblower testimony, mirroring their Minnesota approach. According to the video, Comer stated the committee is “hoping in this investigation is we have the same success we had in Minnesota with whistleblowers coming forward.” The Oversight Committee chairman allegedly plans to conduct transcribed interviews with state employees before potentially calling Governor Newsom to testify.
Comer allegedly pointed to Minnesota as a model for accountability. Fox News reports Comer claimed that the Minnesota investigation proved Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew about fraud in that state. According to the video, Comer stated that dozens of people in Minnesota have already been arrested by the Trump Department of Justice for fraud, with hundreds more cases allegedly being prepared.
In Fox News’s Own Words
“You could multiply what we found in Minnesota probably by 10 in California. That’s how bad it is.”
“18% of all the billing was in Los county and that’s not 18% of the population of America in that one county.”
“We proved in Minnesota that Governor Tim Walls and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew about the fraud.”
The investigation highlights ongoing concerns about fraud in federal healthcare programs. Fox News frames this as part of a broader effort to increase accountability in state and federal agencies responsible for oversight of healthcare spending.
