The Trump administration on Monday said it had slashed billions in social services funds to a handful of blue states as part of its escalating response to new and unproven fraud allegations in Minnesota.
The Department of Health and Human Services will freeze $10 billion worth of federal grants to California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York, an HHS official told HuffPost, confirming news first reported by The New York Post.
It’s not clear whether the freeze was inspired by specific fraud allegations or solely for political reasons. Officials did not immediately provide a public explanation.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) dropped his bid for a third term on Monday over the fraud allegations, saying, essentially, that he couldn’t campaign, fight actual fraud, and fight fraudulent accusations all at the same time.
