Minnesota officials turned a blind eye to fraud, Vance says

Is there credit to be deserved for the governor? No, not at all. Well, this is like the arsonist trying to claim credit for the work of the fire department because Tim Waltz let this fraud happen under his watch, whether he was complicit in it directly himself or just turned a blind eye towards it. And we really did not get much help at all from the governor's office. Where we did actually get some help was from some state local law enforcement officers who we assigned to the federal task force because the state government wasn't doing anything. (01:44–01:52)
