Trump directly posted on Truth Social that Governor Tim Walz 'stole money' from Minnesota, as archived by Trumpstruth.org and referenced by Fox News.

Trumpstruth.org, an archive of Trump's Truth Social posts, shows a post dated October 28, 2026 in which Trump wrote: 'Can you imagine if a Republican stole money like Governor Tim Walz stole from Minnesota? They'd give you the electric chair!' This directly substantiates the claim that Trump asserted Walz stole money from Minnesota. Fox News also covered Trump's remarks tying Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar to a Minnesota fraud scandal, corroborating the context of the statement. The claim accurately reflects Trump's own words as recorded verbatim in the primary source.
