WASHINGTON, D.C. (KVRR) — A major law enforcement action involving fraud in Minnesota will be announced on Thursday morning.

A press conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. in Minneapolis at the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche will be there along with Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz.
