Tim Walz China Under Investigation: Subpoenas Issued for Covid Aid Scheme
Tim Walz China Investigation Unfolds
WASHINGTON — The House Education and Workforce Committee issued subpoenas Wednesday to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Minnesota Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture related to their responses to what federal prosecutors labeled the largest pandemic fraud schemes in the nation.
Details of the Subpoenas
- Subpoenas issued to: Governor Tim Walz
- Additional officials: Minnesota Commissioner of Education Willie Jett, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and Inspector General Phyllis Fong
- Focus: Oversight of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future
This nonprofit is alleged to have misappropriated millions meant for child feeding during the pandemic. The investigation, initiated in 2022, gains momentum as Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., chairs the committee demanding essential documents from all parties involved.
Implications for Gov. Walz
Walz's political record faces increased scrutiny following his selection as the running mate for Vice President Kamala Harris last month. The ongoing investigation raises crucial questions regarding accountability and transparency in managing federal aid programs.
