More than 1,000 press releases from Amy Klobuchar’s Senate office between 2022 and 2025 did not mention Minnesota’s sprawling social-services fraud scandal, even as she now campaigns for governor on rooting out fraud.
Fox News Digital’s review found no direct reference to Feeding Our Future—the $250 million case prosecutors say grew into a broader fraud problem that could exceed $9 billion—or to related terms tied to Medicaid, housing and child-nutrition fraud.
Lisa Demuth, Klobuchar’s Republican rival, says that silence undercuts Klobuchar’s new anti-fraud message, arguing the senator skipped a recent fraud hearing and failed to use her 20 years in office to push hearings or public pressure.
The attack lands as Klobuchar enters the general election as the favorite to replace Tim Walz, who dropped his reelection bid amid the scandal, while Republicans argue voter anger over fraud could reshape the race.
