- A Trump administration official has decided to stop the distribution of $5.5 million in Small Business Administration (SBA) aid to the state of Minnesota.
- The official’s decision is part of a federal crackdown initiated in 2025 to combat welfare abuse.
- The halt in funding is attributed to what the official described as “endemic” fraud in Minnesota under the leadership of Governor Tim Walz.
- Governor Walz’s policies have been criticized by this Trump official for allegedly fostering fraudulent activities, prompting the funding freeze.
- The action is a significant measure in a broader effort by the federal government to address and reduce instances of welfare and aid fraud.
