I urge your office to:

- Ensure that taxpayer dollars are protected from fraud, waste, and abuse

Mr. Emmer, » thank you, Chairman Comr, for holding this important hearing. As I said on Monday, good riddance to Governor Walls, but he cannot escape accountability for the estimated $9 billion in fraud. How did this happen? And where the hell has the Twin Cities media been? The Star Tribune is complicit. They have had this story for years, if you’ve just heard, and they’ve refused to report anything on it. In fact, they continue to try and cover up. Our Minnesota Republican colleagues have demanded answers and accountability for years, but have seen nothing from walls, his administration, our Democrat colleagues like Tina Smith, Amy Cloverar, Ilhan Omar, and Angie Craig, or the worthless Star Tribune. Thank God for President Donald J. Trump for finally bringing attention to this issue. Representative Raric, I’m going to begin with you. You’ve been working on this issue for years. You’ve spoken to the whistleblowers personally. Is that correct? » That is correct. » You have an understanding that 1,000 whistleblowers running an account on X have come forward to expose fraud in Minnesota state agencies and they have been entirely ignored by Tim Walls and have even been retaliated against. Is that accurate? » That is correct. Even this morning, I got another message. » Well, in in your experience, are their claims credible or are they politically motivated against walls? They are completely credible, not politically motivated. » In fact, many of these are Walls administration employees. Correct. » They are actually Democrats as well. » Can you quickly give us one example of the retaliation these folks have been facing? » Yes, I can. In my opening statement, I mentioned that the most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance. That they would be blacklisted from all state agencies. And I would bet bet that it’s also Henipin County and Ramsey County as you know those are Democrat run. Um and and much much more. » Based on what you’ve learned, Representative over the last several years, do you have any doubt that Governor Tim Walls knew about this fraud as it was occurring? » He absolutely knew that it was occurring. » Thank you. The Housing Stability Services Program was estimated to cost about 2.6 6 million per per year. But before it was shut down last October, it was on track to run about 122 million in two 2025. In fact, I think they sucked 161 million out of it from the point it started in 2020 until it was finally shut down. Isn’t that correct? » That is correct. And uh Joe Thompson believes that 90% of that was fraud. » Yeah. The Quality Learing Center, as uncovered by uh Nick Shirley, received almost 10 million in funding. Is that accurate? » I believe it is. There are more than 80 autism centers in Minnesota under investigation. Is that true? » I believe it is. Yes. » It’s clear that someone is criminally complicit. You can’t just let this amount of money get out of your administration over a period of seven years without knowing. There was a hearing in the state regarding the fraudulent housing stabilization program. But before that hearing, Governor Walls fired the official who was slated to testify so that they could not testify and expose what was happening under Governor Wall’s watch. Has Governor Walls or Attorney General Ellison fired anyone else to your knowledge, Representative? » Uh, not to my knowledge. And that was Eric Grumdall and his administration believes that he was uh he was not fired, but I say he was fired because it was too convenient. » Right. Representative Hudson, is it true that 90% of the individuals charged, regardless of what your colleague on the panel just said with his facts and figures, 90% of the individuals charged or indicted with the $250 million Feeding Our Future COVID fraud are of Somali descent? » I believe that to be correct. » Are you aware that in a 2021 video, Mr. Ellison.
