Minnesota GOP lawmaker urges Congress to press Walz at fraud hearing: 'Real issues to deal with'
Accountability can't be optional.
As Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison are set to testify before Congress on Wednesday morning, a Republican Minnesota lawmaker spoke to Fox News Digital about what they should be asked and what needs to happen next to get to the bottom of the problem.
"I’m hoping they’re asked directly, 'Governor Walz, why haven’t you taken the corrective actions and why haven’t you brought your people back? Does that have an impact? Why have you not done that?'" state Sen. Mark Koran said about Walz’s upcoming testimony, pointing to the large remote work force that likely contributed to the lack of oversight in the scandal that prosecutors say could cost taxpayers $9 billion or more.
"Because he knows — they need to position that question to him because he knows he can’t continue to pander and do what’s right, right? He just can’t."
Ellison’s testimony is likely to include questions from members of Congress about a 2021 audio recording of him meeting with members of the Somali community who would soon be convicted of defrauding millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

According to Koran, Ellison has "real issues to deal with" during his testimony on that issue and suggested the recording shows he was offering to "protect" the eventual fraudsters.
"You know who the clients are of Attorney General Keith Ellison?" Koran said. "All the state agencies. So their attorney is going to go work against what’s right from a statutory requirement to stop them from performing their job? If they were even going to do their job?"
Although Walz announced early this year that he would drop his bid for a third term amid mounting criticism of the fraud scandal, he is still serving as governor, which many of his detractors have said doesn’t show true accountability.
Koran agrees with those who have called on Walz to resign, saying that he would if he had "any morals" but "he won’t," and pointed out that even if Republicans had the super majority needed to impeach Walz, his spot would be taken by Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, who Koran called "far more radical."
