A June 2026 House Oversight report alleged senior officials including Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison knew of the issues years earlier yet delayed action; Vice President JD Vance then referred the matter to the DOJ for potential criminal review. A separate DOJ probe into alleged obstruction of federal immigration enforcement faced a federal court block in June, with the judge citing retaliatory intent. No charges against Walz have been filed, and the market's low single-digit implied probability aligns with the absence of indictments or convictions to date amid ongoing scrutiny.
