The House Oversight Committee is intensifying their investigation into the state of Minnesota hemorrhaging funds through fraud schemes in its social benefit programs. The Department of Justice says one of the largest schemes involved 'the Feeding Our Future scheme' which resulted in a $250 million loss when fraudsters received payments from the state for services that were never fulfilled. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota, and the Small Business Administration (SBA) suspended nearly 7-thousand loans amid the mounting scrutiny over accusations of fraud involving child daycare centers across the state. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) says the scams are so numerous in his state that he calls it 'incompetence or dereliction of duty', and Governor Walz will be out of office in November.
