Vance, Oz Withhold $259M Medicaid Funds from Minnesota Fraud
Vice President JD Vance and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announce the Trump administration's first strike in the 'War on Fraud,' withholding $259 million in federal Medicaid funds from Minnesota over hijacked claims and program integrity failures. This dramatic move targets questionable payments from the last three months of 2025, giving Governor Tim Walz 60 days to prove his state verifies services before billing taxpayers.
