What to know about Tim Walz's military record, Vance's accusations of 'stolen valor'

Republican JD Vance is alleging Democrat Gov. Tim Walz is guilty of "stolen valor" -- an explosive allegation that supporters of Walz say goes too far.

The allegation also has legal implications. It's against federal law to lie about military service to try to defraud people.

While there's no evidence that Walz is guilty of such a crime, there are questions about how Walz has talked about his service, including claims that he carried a gun "in war," when he never saw active combat. #ABC7News #LocalNews #Community #Weather #Traffic #GoodMorning #BreakingNews #Sports #USPolitics #Election2024 #NewsAlert #TopStories #ElectionNews
