The largest pandemic fraud in the country occurred under his watch. Over $250 million was funneled from the Minnesota Department of Education to illegitimate nonprofits, such as “Feeding Our Future,” which claimed that it was feeding over 2,000 hungry children a day. Instead, the bulk of this cash went to luxury goods, cars, and real estate. Walz was verbally briefed about potential fraud in his state as early as April 2020. The fraud culminated in FBI raids in the state — nearly two dozen people of the 70 who have been charged have been convicted by the U.S. attorney’s office.
