WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday that the Trump administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to the state of Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive crackdown on misuse of public funds.

Medicaid is the U.S. health care safety net for low-income Americans. As of late 2025, nearly 70 million people were enrolled nationwide.

Vance, who made the announcement with Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said the administration was taking the action “in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people’s tax money.”

Wednesday’s move is part of a larger Trump administration effort to spotlight fraud around the country. That effort comes after allegations of fraud involving day care centers run by Somali residents in Minneapolis prompted a massive immigration crackdown in the Midwestern city, resulting in widespread protests.

6. Not just an attack, but thug tactics.

Remember, they were threatened with turning over voter info or face consequences. It was supposed go be ICE, but I guess they took another route. It can be proved in court there was no fraud. Assholes!

7. Exactly. It's a phony excuse...

Which is what the article should have said
Trump friendly (online)newspapers are complicit

5. He should go to Florida and investigate fraud there. Just google Medicare fraud in Florida and you'll see a long

list of cases. Interesting enough, most were prosecuted before Jan 20, 2025.

Or he could just stay in DC and investigate the pay for pardons racket. I can point out to him on a map where the crimes are being committed.
