"President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that a fraud investigation of California has begun and accused the state of being more corrupt than Minnesota without offering evidence or naming investigators. Taking to Truth Social, the president wrote: California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that's possible??? The Fraud Investigation of California has begun. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
"Trump did not specify which agency was leading the probe or what departments were under scrutiny. The message, however, revived Trump's long-running feud with California Governor Gavin Newsom and appeared designed to tether the state to a separate federal crackdown unfolding in Minnesota. Federal authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security, stepped up investigations into alleged fraud schemes tied to government-funded programs in Minnesota after a viral video from YouTuber Nick Shirley focusing on daycare centers in Minneapolis."
President Donald Trump announced that a fraud investigation of California has begun and accused the state of being more corrupt than Minnesota. He posted on Truth Social alleging corruption under Governor Gavin Newsom and declaring that the Fraud Investigation of California had begun. He did not specify which agency led the probe or which departments were under scrutiny. The message reignited his feud with Governor Newsom and sought to connect California to federal enforcement actions unfolding in Minnesota. Federal authorities, including the FBI and DHS, increased investigations into alleged fraud tied to government-funded programs in Minnesota after a viral video about Minneapolis daycare centers. Governor Tim Walz pushed back, said his administration had worked to combat fraud, and later announced he will not seek re-election in 2026, accusing Republicans of exploiting the investigations.
