Republicans in the House of Representatives have subpoenaed Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential candidate, over a sprawling Covid-era fraud scheme that took place in his state. Virginia Foxx, GOP chair of the chamber’s Education and the Workforce Committee, has demanded records that show “the extent of your responsibilities and actions addressing” a scheme in which nonprofits siphoned millions of dollars in emergency federal aid while claiming to feed hungry children. Seventy people have been charged in the investigation. A state official said the Trump-era Department of Agriculture, which funded the pandemic-era program, refused to act on the state’s repeated warnings about the fraud scheme. (New York Times)
Las Vegas is set to get a major new art museum in the next few years, thanks to a partnership with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a major donor. Elaine Wynn, who made a fortune in hotels and casinos with her former husband, Steve Wynn, will donate funds as needed to the $150 million project, which will initially draw on the Los Angeles museum’s collection. Wynn, 82, co-chairs the board of LACMA, where she has been an important benefactor. She calls the museum her “final gift” to Las Vegas, which is the largest U.S. city without a major art museum.
