Olszewski wasn't the only Democrat Fox News Digital heard from who suggested Walz should face the music, but others dodged the question and some pointed the finger at President Donald Trump and Republicans.
"It is not a partisan issue. I just wish that we could focus on really looking at where the facts take us and not have it be that one side is trying to fight waste, fraud, abuse, and the other isn't," said Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt., when asked if anything should be done to prevent such wide scale fraud – as was seen in Minnesota – from happening in the first place.
"There's always a fraud issue. That's why the Department of Justice had a huge civil fraud division that did a lot of great work, and that's why we have [Inspector Generals] and the like throughout the federal government. The elimination of those, firing that cadre of people was one of the worst things the Trump administration could do if they're serious about fighting waste, fraud, and abuse," said Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md.
