Fraud-filled state plays victim card as Trump may turn off Medicaid spigot * WorldNetDaily * by Libby Bandelin, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

Minnesota public officials are preparing for the Trump administration to pull hundreds of millions in federal funding from the state which has been marred by a massive healthcare fraud scandal in recent months. A government official appointed by Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed his concern with the Center of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Health & Human Services (HHS) for freezing $550 million in federal funding in 2026, claiming the state's Medicaid program is being unfairly targeted in fraud implications, the Washington Sun reported. The Trump administration froze the funding due to allegations of widespread fraud in the state that first broke in late 2025.
