So this Minnesota Somali charity fraud scandal is actually growing, and the media continues to ignore it. Originally reported to be a $1 billion fraud scheme, that number was revised to $8 billion a few weeks ago. Now, the Democrat-Somali charity fraud scandal could be as much as $18 BILLION in just Minnesota alone! Yep.. Minnesota is the California of the mid-west.
In a Thursday press conference, federal authorities in Minnesota announced new charges in the fraud scandal that has grabbed national headlines and spoke on the scope of the crisis, saying that it goes beyond what has previously been reported.
“Minnesotans and taxpayers deserve to know the truth of the fraud,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson told reporters at a press conference. “The fraud is not small. It isn’t isolated. The magnitude cannot be overstated. What we see in Minnesota is not a handful of bad actors committing crimes. It’s staggering industrial-scale fraud. It’s swamping Minnesota and calling into question everything we know about our state.”
Thompson explained that 14 programs have been identified as containing fraud and those programs have cost taxpayers $18 billion overall since 2018.
