Tim Walz Hired Outside Operatives to Silence Fraud Whistleblowers, Oversight Report Reveals– slaynews.com

Senior officials in Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration allegedly hired outside investigators to monitor and intimidate whistleblowers who raised concerns about widespread fraud in state social services programs, according to a congressional report released Monday.

The more than 200-page report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform alleges that officials within the Democrat governor’s administration retaliated against employees who attempted to expose fraud.

The efforts to silence whistleblowers came while state leaders failed for years to act on repeated warnings about questionable payments and abuse of taxpayer-funded programs.
