You do not go to war by having a press conference. It's on the President to show Congress and the American people that there is a real justification and endgame. Trump's done none of that. This war should end TODAY.
Today, I once again asked the MN legislature to support my bipartisan bill to fight Medicaid fraud. We convicted 300+ people for Med Fraud since I’ve been AG but the law hasn’t kept up with the need. We need stronger tools to investigate and prosecute and protect public dollars.
