Articles of impeachment filed against ‘cartel boss’ Tim Walz could expand to more state officials

State Rep. Mike Wiener (R) filed articles of impeachment against Gov. Tim Walz, alleging corruption and comparing his operation to a 'drug cartel'. The articles cite a $9 billion Somali social services scandal and a $250 million pandemic-era welfare fraud as grounds for impeachment. Other officials, including the head of Minnesota’s Management Budget Office and Attorney General Keith Ellison, could also face impeachment. The articles are set to be voted on in the Minnesota House on Feb. 17.
