WATCH: Walz, Ellison, Omar refuse to answer when pressed on fraud after contentious fraud hearing

Following the highly anticipated House Oversight Committee hearing on fraud Wednesday, Fox News Digital pressed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison about their roles in the scandal but received no response from the embattled officials.

"Why wasn't the fraud caught sooner, governor?" Walz was asked after the hearing. "Almost $10 billion — why wasn't it caught sooner?"

Walz declined to answer as he was escorted down a hallway by staff but stopped briefly to speak with another individual.
