Trump administration pauses $260 million in Medicaid funding to Minnesota

The Trump administration is withholding nearly $260 million in Medicaid funds from Minnesota. The administration, with Vice President Mike Pence announcing the move, cited concerns about fraud in the state's program.

Medicaid is a federal-state program that provides health coverage to people with low incomes. The pause means the federal government is temporarily stopping these payments while the fraud allegations are reviewed.
