Tim Walz Faces Impeachment In His Own State

Minnesota Republicans are teeing up impeachment shots at Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, introducing a pair of House resolutions that accuse the two top statewide Democrats of misconduct tied to fraud and law enforcement controversies.
GOP lawmakers filed House Resolution 6 seeking Walz’s impeachment and House Resolution 7 targeting Ellison. The measures allege “corrupt conduct” and, in Ellison’s case, accuse him of “crimes and misdemeanors,” according to language read on the House floor.
The Walz resolution says the governor violated his duties by how his administration handled Minnesota’s sprawling fraud scandals. It accuses Walz of “violating his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the laws of this state,” with Republicans pointing to the state’s repeated headlines over stolen public funds and the fallout from investigations that have embarrassed state agencies.
The Ellison resolution takes aim at the attorney general’s posture toward immigration enforcement and protest activity. It alleges Ellison has been “undermining” the FACE Act, citing his defense of anti-ICE protesters and journalists who demonstrated at a St. Paul church. The resolution also references a meeting Ellison had with future defendants in the Feeding Our Future case, one of the state’s most notorious fraud prosecutions.
The push is not new. Republicans tried a similar move against Walz in 2021, when they introduced a resolution tied to his COVID-19 emergency declaration. That effort fizzled when Democrats controlled both chambers.
This time, the math is still brutal for Republicans.
