House Republicans have issued a subpoena to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz regarding his administration's management of taxpayer funds during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subpoena, sent by the House Education and Workforce Committee, focuses on a $250 million fraud scheme involving a Minnesota-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. The Department of Justice had previously accused the organization of exploiting a federally-funded child nutrition program amid the pandemic.
Feeding Our Future allegedly defrauded the federal program by fabricating attendance rosters and falsifying invoices to show food purchases for non-existent children. Over 70 individuals have been charged in connection to the scheme, with five already found guilty.
