Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he welcomes the federal investigation into state fraud allegations, adding, "you commit fraud in Minnesota, you're going to prison."

Investigating fraud allegations

The backstory:

The investigation was announced on Monday by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who stated that the probe aims to uncover whether Minnesotans' tax dollars have been diverted to a terrorist organization.

The post on X reads, "At my direction, U.S. Treasury is investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab. Thanks to the leadership of [President Donald Trump], we are acting fast to ensure Americans’ taxes are not funding acts of global terror. We will share our findings as our investigation continues."
