A group in the US government wrote a report. They say leaders in Minnesota did not stop people from stealing money from food and health programs.

美國政府的一個部門撰寫了一份報告，指出明尼蘇達州的領導層未能阻止人員從食物和醫療計劃中盜取資金。

Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew about the problems in 2019. But they did not stop the payments. One group stole 300 million dollars from a food program.

州長 Tim Walz 和總檢察長 Keith Ellison 在 2019 年就已知曉這些問題，但他們並未停止撥款。有一個團體從一項食物計劃中盜取了 3 億美元。

Attorney General Ellison says the report is wrong. He says his office works hard to stop fraud. He says the report is only about politics.

總檢察長 Ellison 表示該報告是錯誤的。他表示他的辦公室正努力阻止詐騙，並稱該報告僅僅是政治操弄。

Now, the US government stopped 260 million dollars of health money for Minnesota. A leader named James Comer wants the White House to check the state's systems.

現在，美國政府停止了向明尼蘇達州提供 2.6 億美元的醫療資金。一名叫 James Comer 的領導人要求白宮檢查該州的系統。

The government group says the leaders were lazy. The Minnesota leaders say the report is not true.

政府部門表示領導層太過懈怠，而明尼蘇達州的領導層則稱該報告並不屬實。

The House Oversight Committee has published a detailed report claiming that Minnesota state officials did not take action quickly enough to stop widespread fraud in federal nutrition and healthcare programs.

眾議院監督委員會發表了一份詳細報告，指稱明尼蘇達州政府官員採取行動不夠迅速，未能及時阻止聯邦營養與醫療保健計劃中的大規模欺詐活動。

The investigation focuses on the actions of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison. The committee asserts that both officials knew about problems in nutrition and Medicaid programs as early as 2019 and 2020, which is earlier than the administration has publicly admitted. For example, the report highlights the 'Feeding Our Future' case, where about $300 million in federal funds were stolen. Furthermore, the report claims that the administration was slow to stop payments to suspicious groups because they were worried about potential racial discrimination claims rather than legal issues.

此次調查重點關注州長 Tim Walz 與總檢察長 Keith Ellison 的行動。委員會主張兩位官員早在 2019 年和 2020 年就已知曉營養與 Medicaid 計劃存在問題，早於行政部門公開承認的時間。例如，報告強調了「Feeding Our Future」案件，其中約 3 億美元的聯邦資金被盜。此外，報告聲稱行政部門停止向可疑團體付款的速度過慢，是因為他們擔心潛在的種族歧視指控，而非法律問題。

Regarding Attorney General Ellison, the committee emphasizes that there were contradictions between his public statements and internal records. Specifically, the report mentions a delay in providing legal help to the Department of Education. Additionally, the committee questioned a 2021 meeting between Ellison and people later convicted of fraud, suggesting the meeting was for political reasons. In contrast, the Attorney General's office argues that the report is politically motivated and claims that his Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is very effective.

關於總檢察長 Ellison，委員會強調其公開陳述與內部記錄之間存在矛盾。具體而言，報告提到在向教育部提供法律援助方面存在延遲。此外，委員會質疑 Ellison 在 2021 年與後來被判定欺詐的人員會面，暗示該會議是出於政治原因。相反，總檢察長辦公室辯稱該報告具有政治動機，並聲稱其 Medicaid 欺詐控制小組非常高效。

As a result of these issues, the federal government has suspended nearly $260 million in Medicaid funding. Consequently, Chairman James Comer has asked Vice President JD Vance to lead a full review of Minnesota's social services system to fix these serious weaknesses.

由於這些問題，聯邦政府已暫停近 2.6 億美元的 Medicaid 資助。因此，主席 James Comer 已要求副總統 JD Vance 領導對明尼蘇達州社會服務系統進行全面審查，以修復這些嚴重缺陷。

The situation remains a major disagreement between the House Oversight Committee, which claims the officials were negligent, and the Minnesota administration, which says the report is based on political inaccuracies.

目前的局面仍是眾議院監督委員會（指責官員失職）與明尼蘇達州政府（認為報告基於政治錯誤）之間的重大分歧。

The House Oversight Committee has released a comprehensive report alleging that Minnesota state officials failed to implement timely interventions to prevent extensive fraud within federal nutrition and healthcare programs.

眾議院監督委員會發布了一份全面報告，指稱明尼蘇達州政府官員未能及時採取干預措施，以防止聯邦營養與醫療保健計劃中出現的大規模欺詐。

The investigation focuses on the administrative conduct of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, asserting that both officials possessed knowledge of irregularities in the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program, and various high-risk Medicaid programs as early as 2019 and 2020. According to the committee, this awareness predates the public acknowledgments provided by the administration. The report highlights the 'Feeding Our Future' case, where approximately $300 million in federal nutrition funds were misappropriated. It is further alleged that the administration's hesitation to cease payments to suspected entities was influenced by concerns regarding potential racial discrimination claims, rather than legal impediments.

調查重點在於州長 Tim Walz 與總檢察長 Keith Ellison 的行政行為，指稱兩位官員早在 2019 年和 2020 年就已知曉「兒童與成人照顧食品計劃」、「夏季食品服務計劃」以及多項高風險 Medicaid 計劃中存在異常情況。根據委員會的說法，此認知早於政府公開承認的時間。報告重點描述了「餵飽我們的未來」(Feeding Our Future) 案，其中約 3 億美元的聯邦營養資金被挪用。報告進一步指稱，政府對於停止向可疑實體付款的猶豫，是受潛在種族歧視指控的擔憂所影響，而非法律障礙。

Regarding the role of Attorney General Ellison, the committee contends there were significant discrepancies between his public statements and internal timelines. Specifically, the report cites a delay in providing legal support to the Minnesota Department of Education against the 'Feeding Our Future' nonprofit. Furthermore, the committee scrutinized a 2021 meeting between Ellison and individuals later convicted of fraud, suggesting the meeting was characterized by political solicitations rather than the bureaucratic assistance Ellison described. In contrast, the Attorney General's office maintains that the report is a politicized misrepresentation, asserting that Ellison's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is highly effective and that jurisdictional limitations necessitate the referral of non-Medicaid criminal cases to county authorities.

關於總檢察長 Ellison 的角色，委員會認為其公開陳述與內部時間線存在顯著差異。具體而言，報告指出在向明尼蘇達州教育局提供法律支援以對抗「餵飽我們的未來」非營利組織時存在延誤。此外，委員會質疑 Ellison 在 2021 年與後來被判定欺詐的人士會面，認為該會議的性質是政治遊說，而非 Ellison 所描述的行政協助。相對地，總檢察長辦公室堅持認為該報告是政治化的歪曲，並聲稱 Ellison 的 Medicaid 欺詐控制小組非常高效，且由於管轄權限制，非 Medicaid 刑事案件必須移交至郡政府當局。

Institutional consequences have manifested in the suspension of nearly $260 million in federal Medicaid funding by the Trump administration. Additionally, Chairman James Comer has formally requested that Vice President JD Vance, in his capacity as chair of the White House Task Force to eliminate fraud, initiate a comprehensive review of Minnesota's social services framework to address systemic vulnerabilities.

制度性後果已體現為川普政府暫停了近 2.6 億美元的聯邦 Medicaid 資金。此外，主席 James Comer 已正式要求副總統 JD Vance 以白宮消除欺詐工作小組主席的身份，對明尼蘇達州的社會服務框架啟動全面審查，以解決系統性漏洞。

The situation remains a point of contention between the House Oversight Committee, which alleges willful negligence, and the Minnesota administration, which characterizes the findings as politically motivated inaccuracies.

目前的狀況仍是眾議院監督委員會（指稱蓄意疏忽）與明尼蘇達州政府（將調查結果定性為政治動機導致的不準確描述）之間的爭論焦點。
