‘People exiting US with millions in cash and you…’: Pete Sessions grills Bessent on Minnesota fraud

Republican Rep. Pete Sessions grills Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over allegations that massive fraud in Minnesota allowed thieves to move millions in cash out of the U.S. amid a wider government benefits fraud probe. Officials are investigating fraud schemes that reportedly siphoned billions in taxpayer funds through welfare and nutrition programs, with suspected large cash transfers flagged at airports and overseas. Treasury actions include enhanced reporting requirements, FinCEN investigations, and audits of financial firms tied to the alleged fraud.
