A Department of Justice criminal investigation has been launched against Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz.
The probe will examine whether or not Walz was complicit in or criminally liable for the ongoing $9 billion fraud scandal, primarily involving Somali immigrants in Minnesota during his tenure as governor.
“It’s a top priority for President Trump, and he believes that Governor Walz is criminally liable, and I think that the Department of Justice is going to find out,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an interview.
