A trio of state Republican lawmakers who are members of a legislative fraud committee will brief members of Congress Wednesday on mounting examples of misuse of federal money in some Minnesota social services programs. 

The Republican-led U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing comes just days after Gov. Tim Walz 

 as fraud allegations continue to dog his administration. 

Live from Washington, D.C., KARE-11 investigative reporter A.J. Lagoe joined Cathy Wurzer on Morning Edition to set the scene. 

“If we thought that the partisan fireworks would be turned down after Gov. Walz bowed out of the race a couple days ago, that’s certainly not going to be happening,” Lagoe said. “I think we’re very clearly going to be hearing a lot of phrases about complicity and turning a blind eye.”
