Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is

0:01

Carmine Sabia for Explain America and

0:03

the roof is collapsing on one Ilhan

0:07

Omar.

0:18

Ilhan Omar's being looked at by federal

0:20

investigators because of the Feeding Our

0:22

Families possible the fraud that

0:24

happened there.

0:26

People think she was involved in that.

0:28

The daycare scandal. People think she

0:31

might have been involved there.

0:33

And then of course there is the whole

0:35

brother immigration scandal that people

0:39

think there was fraud there.

0:41

But one Democrat lawmaker has stepped

0:43

forward and said that Democrats in that

0:45

state

0:46

are trying to slow walk this. They are

0:48

trying to run cover for Omar, for Walls,

0:53

for the people involved in this

0:55

million, tens of millions, of hundreds

0:57

of millions of dollars scandal.

0:59

The fraud scandal that happened in that

1:01

state.

1:02

I want you to watch this and let me know

1:04

what you think in the comments.

1:06

Now the fraud crackdown in Minnesota

1:07

continues to escalate. State lawmakers

1:10

are launching their own probe as the FBI

1:13

just raided 22 facilities this week. The

1:15

National News Desk's Jeff Harris spoke

1:17

exclusively with one of those lawmakers.

1:21

Minnesota State Representative Kristin

1:23

Robbins has been leading legislative

1:24

efforts to uncover and address

1:26

systematic fraud in state-funded

1:28

programs. In our conversation, she

1:30

discussed those efforts holding elected

1:32

officials accountable and her recent

1:34

letter to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar about

1:37

the Feeding Our Future scheme. I don't

1:39

think the state has been doing nearly

1:42

enough to hold themselves, the agencies

1:45

accountable, or to prosecute these

1:48

crimes. In an exclusive interview with

1:50

the National News Desk, Minnesota State

1:52

Representative Kristin Robbins, who

1:54

chairs the House Fraud Prevention

1:55

Committee, opening up about the fraud

1:57

crackdown happening in her state,

1:59

including Governor Tim Walz declining a

2:01

recent invitation to speak. You did ask

2:04

Governor Walz to appear to the hearing

2:07

this week, right?

2:09

Absolutely. We think he needs to come

2:11

before our committee and answer to the

2:13

Minnesota taxpayers. That hearing

2:15

happening the same day the FBI raided 22

2:18

facilities in the Twin Cities. Robbins

2:20

commenting on Walz's reaction, who wrote

2:22

on social media, the raids happened

2:24

because {quote} our state agencies

2:26

caught irregular behavior and reported

2:28

it. Comments he doubled down on during

2:30

Tuesday night's State of the State.

2:32

People who have ripped us off are

2:34

getting caught and they are going to

2:36

jail, just like today. I've said the

2:38

buck stops with me. What are your

2:40

thoughts on his response to those raids?

2:42

For them to say, oh, they're they're the

2:44

ones

2:46

you know, generating these leads or

2:48

helping the feds, it's just not true.

2:49

The feds are doing an incredible job and

2:51

we're very grateful for their

2:52

partnership. Federal prosecutors

2:54

estimate fraud in Minnesota's Medicaid

2:56

and social services programs could

2:58

exceed $9 billion.

3:00

On Thursday, Dr. Ross announcing another

3:02

91 million in federal Medicaid funding

3:05

was being deferred, adding to the over

3:07

250 million deferred in February. Now

3:10

based on what we've seen so far, roughly

3:12

$14 million may go towards illegal

3:15

immigrants who aren't supposed to be

3:16

getting this coverage. The most

3:18

significant fraud case, Feeding Our

3:20

Future, resulting in over $250 million

3:23

being stolen from a pandemic-era school

3:25

program. Robbins recently sending this

3:28

letter to Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan

3:30

Omar requesting records and an

3:32

explanation of her alleged ties,

3:34

pointing to the MEALS Act, which was

3:36

introduced by Omar in 2020, but later

3:38

scrutinized for potential links. What

3:40

are your next steps if she doesn't

3:42

comply? I believe that deadline was set

3:44

by May 5th.

3:46

>> The bill she passed at the federal level

3:49

exactly created the conditions of fraud

3:51

that our state taxpayers are still

3:53

reeling from. So she does, I think, need

3:55

to come and explain herself to

3:57

Minnesotans. Now in late 2025, Omar

4:00

defended the MEALS Act saying she had no

4:02

regrets since it did help children in

4:04

need. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Walz

4:07

introduced an anti-fraud package aimed

4:09

at detecting and preventing fraud. I'm

4:12

Jeff Harris reporting from Washington.
