Tim Walz Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz finds himself at the epicenter of a blistering national fraud scandal thats dominating headlines this week. According to Fox 9, the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced hearings on fraud and misuse of federal funds in Minnesota, with Part 1 kicking off January 7 at 9 a.m. CT, and Walz invited to testify alongside Attorney General Keith Ellison on February 10. Chairman James Comer slammed the Walz administration for ignoring warnings on social services fraud, while a Walz spokesperson shot back to Fox 9 that theyre eager to cooperate but called the panels events circus hearings, noting the governors push to jail fraudsters amid Trump pardon talk.

The firestorm ignited from YouTuber Nick Shirleys viral video exposing allegedly empty Somali-run daycares in Minneapolis raking in millions, like a misspelled Quality Learing Center with no kids inside but $4 million in funds, as detailed by Fox News. This prompted the Trump administration to freeze all child care payments nationwide per ABC News and HHS officials, with FBI Director Kash Patel surging agents for door-to-door probes and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem joining in, per multiple reports. Walz hit social media hard, posting on X that its Trumps long game to defund programs after years of his crackdowns, including audits and shutdowns, his office told Fox News. CBS News notes federal focus spans beyond daycares to billions in nutrition, housing, and health fraud, with Walz acknowledging the issue but disputing sky-high figures.

On the campaign trail for a third term, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports Walz and DFL tapping influencers with millions of followers for cozy chats on vaccines, child care, and rebutting GOP attacks, complete with Diet Mountain Dew shoutouts at St. Paul bars. His office also announced Northfield hosting the 2026 Governors Pheasant Opener and National Guard aid for a December 28 winter storm. No public appearances noted in the past 48 hours, but past 24-hour buzz centers on the hearings invite and funding freeze blowback.
