Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and FBI Director Kash Patel each claimed credit for a sweeping law enforcement operation in Minneapolis after federal officers conducted raids as part of an ongoing fraud investigation. The operation targeted multiple businesses and was meant to combat 'rampant fraud of U.S. taxpayers dollars'. However, sources differ on the extent of their involvement.
