Bondi announces 60 people have been convicted of fraud in four Minnesota scams so far | Misty Severi, Just The News Minnesota has been accused of allowing widespread fraud schemes to infiltrate their publicly funded programs, such as the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, and steal millions of taxpayer dollars. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday detailed four cases of alleged widespread fraud in Minnesota, which have led to the conviction of over 60 people so far and the arrests of 98 people, the majority of whom are of Somali descent. Minnesota has been accused of allowing widespread fraud schemes to infiltrate their publicly funded programs, such as the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program and Medicaid, and steal millions of taxpayer dollars. Although the fraud allegations have received national attention under the Trump administration in recent months, local outlets have reported that fraud in the state has been going on for over a decade, with some resulting in guilty pleas in 2016. Bondi said the Justice Department has been investigating fraud allegations in Minnesota "for months," and that the investigation has been a team effort with assistance from other Trump officials like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The attorney general also highlighted four schemes in her social media post, which include fraud tied to COVID-19 era programs, and fraud in the state's Medicaid program, along with bribery allegations related to a juror. Bondi noted that the biggest scam appears to be part of Minnesota's "Feeding Our Future" program, which was designed to provide food for children during the pandemic. There have been 78 people charged in the scheme so far, of which 57 have been convicted, including its alleged leader Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, who was sentenced to 28 years in prison in August. Another scandal was allegations that three people tried to bribe jury members with $120,000, and promised more would be coming if the juror acquitted all seven defendants. "Not unlike what you would see in the corrupt Somali judicial system, defendants in the Feeding Our Future case intimidated a cooperating defendant and attempted to bribe jurors," Bondi wrote in a thread on X. Bondi said the third scam was related to autism treatment under Medicaid, which she claimed included the creation of "fake autism clinics" that Somali migrants would take their children to in exchange for huge financial kickbacks. "The state government program underwriting this scam was supposed to cost $20 million," she wrote. "Somehow, it ballooned to $200 million…at taxpayers’ expense." The final scam was tied to Medicaid fraud for medication and "housing stabilization services," that was intended to help people struggling with mental illnesses, disabilities and seniors. "The [fraudsters] started sham LLCs and began signing up drug addicts and others in halfway houses for services that were NEVER provided," Bondi claimed. "The program was supposed to cost $2.6 million per year – it exploded to $125 million per year." justthenews.com/government/fed…

@links_national @PhilMickelson what do you have on this one?

We are devastated to report that the Trump administration is officially terminating our 50-year lease with the National Park Service to manage and renovate the three courses. The termination is effective immediately.

@ScottAdamsSays Do you care where Dem campaign contributions went? Do you care about the Trump campaign contributions because there is a lot of smoke there...

This doesn't sound like something that can happen fast, which means it will do more to piss off Republicans than to satisfy them.

‘Ten-year stain:’ Bondi asks prosecutors to probe Obama-Biden lawfare as criminal conspiracy | John Solomon, Just The News FBI Director Kash Patel penned a memo predicating an investigation looking at the weaponization of intelligence and law-enforcement powers dating to the Russia collusion case as an ongoing conspiracy. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Just the News that she has asked prosecutors to investigate the Obama-Biden era of lawfare as an ongoing election-meddling conspiracy that protected Democrats from criminal investigation and infringed the civil rights of Republicans like President Donald Trump and his supporters. Recovering from eye surgery, Bondi made the revelation in written answers Sunday to questions submitted by Just the News, signaling she agrees with FBI Director Kash Patel, who earlier this year penned a memo predicating an investigation looking at the weaponization of intelligence of law-enforcement powers dating to the Russia collusion case as an ongoing conspiracy. An "ongoing conspiracy" and the statute of limitations Such an approach allows prosecutors to charge defendants with alleged crimes outside the statute of limitations because they were connected to an ongoing conspiracy, much like those cases brought against the mafia and drug cartels. "At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide," Bondi said. "This is a ten-year stain on the country committed by high-ranking officials against the American people. "Under President Trump, we are fixing the damage and delivering justice," she added. Bondi credited her department and the FBI for releasing "an unprecedented number of documents to Congress about government weaponization, far more than prior administrations." She said that evidence laid the predicate for a conspiracy case. Bondi did not identify where prosecutors are conducting the investigation, but officials told Just the News a large part of the probe is being done in Florida, where President Trump's home was raided in 2022. Bondi: "excessive" use of authority based on political beliefs "This evidence illustrates that the FBI shielded political figures like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton while pursuing conservatives for their beliefs, using legal process and operations that were excessive, instead of protecting Americans from public safety threats posed by an open border and violent crime," she said. "They went so far as to serve search warrants that their own Department and law enforcement officials believed were excessive." Bondi's comments referred to recent evidence showing that FBI agents did not believe the Biden Justice Department had enough evidence to establish probable cause for the search warrants and the August 8, 2022, raid on Trump's Florida home at Mar-a-Lago. The mantra that "No one is above the law" works both ways "This Department of Justice takes government weaponization seriously. That means protecting civil liberties, preventing election interference, and holding bad actors accountable," she said. "No one is above the law, even if they think they are." The Attorney General also blasted ex-CIA Director John Brennan, who got recent subpoenas from a grand jury investigating his testimony, for trying to get the chief federal judge in Miami to intervene in her investigation. "Public reports of a recent letter sent to Cecilia M. Altonaga, the Chief Judge of the Federal District of Florida, by John Brennan’s defense attorneys, seeking judicial intervention in any legitimate grand jury investigation by the executive branch, shows these bad actors are clearly concerned about their liability and want to preserve a two-tiered justice system: one for them and one for everyone else. No more," Bondi said to Just the News. justthenews.com/accountability…

@RobSchneider Because everyone is laughing at you comparing yourself to Mark Ruffalo.

Thank goodness our elections are not rigged even while every other important government institution clearly is.
We know the elections were clean because the results were audited.
Lol.

@ScottAdamsSays Our smartest people....ha! And there is fraud everywhere on both sides.
English
Our smartest people are now fully engaged in how to stop the massive frauds we see everywhere.
I see lots of ideas about audit systems and fraud bounty systems. Maybe too many ideas.
How do we focus this energy?
A fraud czar would get the Musk treatment.
Our existing audit systems are obviously inadequate.
AI isn't ready.
Government is the problem, not the solution.
Justice moves too slowly.

@TheJusticeDept So 1 kid with an iPhone was able to uncover massive fraud that led to almost 100 arrests in just a few days?
Seems like something the people in these state governments that are being paid millions should be doing, unless their complicit.

We have charged 98 individuals in relation to fraud in Minnesota. More than 60 have pled guilty or been convicted.
More to come.

MINNESOTA FRAUD: @NickShirleyyy’s work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota. @TheJusticeDept has been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged 98 individuals – 85 of Somali descent – and more than 60 have been found guilty in court. We have more prosecutions coming…BUCKLE UP, LAWMAKERS!

@elonmusk @ScottAdamsSays And DOGE referred zero fraud cases. All stats are made up.
English
My lower bound guess for how much fraud there is nationally is ~20% of the Federal budget, which would mean $1.5 trillion per year. Probably much higher.

I trust @Cernovich instincts here. If he thinks a grant program can unlock tens of investigative journalists to uncover the breadth and scale of California’s fraud, many people will support it.
Cerno?

@chamath @nickshirleyy Let's crowdfund a grant program for similar young journalists who use Youtube/X to expose fraud in California. I.e. $10K each to 10-100 influencers to make videos exposing similar frauds @Cernovich @KevinKileyCA

I’ve made tons and tons of felony arrests in my career. Scott is wrong. This is basic academy level cut and dry fraud. The fact no ones been arrested yet is incompetence or a deliberate choice.

It's not my job to defend Pam Bondi, but in the real world, a rapid 10X increase in workload can't be quickly fixed by "staffing up." And how would we know how many cases are in progress? Given the complexity of this stuff, how long should it take to be sure you're ready to arrest or indict? And how many attorneys are left to do the work after they fired the anti-Trumpers? It can't be easy to do this "staffing up" you speak of. We all want to see more and faster prosecutions. I'm as frustrated as you are. But can we stop pretending we know how fast things should be moving in this environment?
