A formal call for the impeachment of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been presented, citing allegations related to the handling of fraud oversight, executive authority, and the administration’s response to internal warnings.
Mike Wiener outlined the request, pointing to provisions within Minnesota’s Constitution and state statutes governing fiduciary responsibility and fraud prevention. He said the effort is based on what he described as failures in oversight and execution of state law.
“Calling for the impeachment of Governor Tim Walz for failure to faithfully execute the laws of the state of Minnesota, abuse of power and obstruction of oversight under Minnesota article Constitution, Article eight, section one,” Wiener said.
He referenced the constitutional standard for impeachment.
“The governor may be impeached for malfeasance. Non feasants are corrupt conduct,” Wiener said.
Wiener said the threshold for impeachment does not require a criminal conviction.
“These standards do not require a criminal conviction, they require a breach of public trust in a failure to uphold the duties of the office,” he said.
He also cited another constitutional provision related to the execution of laws.
