Minnesota is suing President Donald Trump’s administration in an attempt to stop it from withholding $243 million in Medicaid spending. The lawsuit filed Monday asks a U.S. court in Minneapolis to issue a temporary restraining order to block the withholding for Medicaid, which is the health care safety net for low-income Americans. The move came after Vice President JD Vance said last week the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns. Minnesota's attorney general says his office has a strong track record of fighting Medicaid fraud. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services didn't immediately respond to an email and phone message seeking comment late Monday.
