Rep. James Comer warns Gov. Tim Walz that refusing to appear at Minnesota fraud hearing would constitute "admission to guilt" as House Oversight ramps up investigation.
Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
"We've asked not only Gov. Walz, but also Attorney General Ellison, both of whom were in Congress, who I served with in Congress, so they know the rules of Congress. They know how serious this is. This has gotten the attention of the national public… so they will have to show up and defend themselves."
Comer said the first committee hearing on the matter will occur Wednesday and will bring in more state officials with additional evidence.
