5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,959

Speaker 3: in Minnesota, and the governor there, Waltz, is fighting back.

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: What's his excuse now? He says, it's not his fault.

16
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: They've been sending me to terrorists. It's somehow AI's fault.

Speaker 2: Story number one.

36
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: We've been talking a lot about important store, and that

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: is Somali refugees that are taking billions of dollars from you,

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: the taxpayer. We know just how much money and how

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: many of them are taking your dollars, especially in Minnesota.

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: Well now the Treasury Department is ratcheting it up with

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: investigations targeting the Somali community for fraud, specifically in Minnesota.

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: The Treasury Department targeting businesses they say that people use

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: to wire money to family members abroad. As the Trump

44
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: administration is investigating the fraud within Minnesota Somali community. The

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary of Scott Thes sent confirming on Friday now.

46
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: These new actions have been prompted by a series of

47
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: fraud cases, including a nonprofit called Feeding Our Future that

48
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: is accused of stealing pandemic aid meant for school meals.

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: Prosecutors have put the losses from the case at three

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: hundred million dollars. The Center's point to report by conservative

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: news outlet City Journal, which claims the taxpayer dollars from

52
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: defrauded government programs flowed to Al Shabab, an al Qaeda

53
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: linked militant group that controls parts of Somalia. The report

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: sides unnamed sources, and the allegations have not been substantiated.

55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Federal prosecutors have not charged any defendants with supporting terrorists.

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: On Friday, set on social media that the Treasury Department

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: will soon issue an order requiring money wire services that

58
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: people use to send money to Somalia to submit additional

59
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: verification to the Treasury. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: Treasury arm that combats financial crimes like money laundering and

61
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: terrorism financing, will also deploy to assist in the efforts,

62
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: the Treasury Secretary stated. He added also that the Internal

63
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: Revenue Service would also be involved in looking to firms

64
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: a Q of engaging in fraud. Additionally, Treasury personnel are

65
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: on the ground working hard to uncover the facts, he said,

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: about why so many American tax dollars have been going

67
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: to fraud, including going to terrorist organizations and the money

68
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: going literally back to Somalia. Now, Democrats were hoping that

69
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: this entire scandal would disappear. It certainly doesn't look good

70
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: for Democrats, including the governor in Minnesota, who knew that

71
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: this was going on. CBS even putting out a report

72
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 3: saying this way, as they're describing how bad the abuse is.

73
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: A honeymoon in the Maldives, a fleet of luxury cars.

74
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 4: Here's a box with more than two hundred and seventy

75
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: thousand dollars in cash. This was all evidence from a

76
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 4: Neutrova files obtained exclusively by CBS News showing how a

77
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: group of convicted Minnesota fraudsters spent taxpayer dollars. One text

78
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: message reads, you are going to be the richest twenty

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 4: five year old were.

80
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: Not even at the end of the beginning of our

81
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 5: pursuit of the stolen money and of the people who

82
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: stole it.

83
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: US Attorney Daniel Rosen leads the office digging into the

84
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: wave of COVID era fraud that hit Minnesota. So how

85
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: much money are we talking about stolen from the American taxpayer?

86
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: I can say with great comfort, well and excessive a

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: billion dollars.

88
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 4: In the past three years, eighty seven defendants have been charged,

89
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: sixty one convicted. The majority of them are Somali American

90
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: Minnesota has the nation's largest Somali population. The perpetrators are

91
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 4: accused of ripping off state run programs intended to feed

92
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 4: low income kids, house the disabled, and provide services to

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: autistic children.

94
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: This was a get rich scheme.

95
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: Andy Luger was the US attorney who first examined this fraud.

96
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: He left in January.

97
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 5: One of the things we discovered is that a number

98
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: of the people involved we're buying investment property resort property

99
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: in Kenya.

100
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 4: Wire transfers reviewed by CBS News also show more than

101
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: one million dollars went to Chinese banks. The Trump administration

102
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: has said it's investigating whether any of the money fell

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: into the hands of terror groups like al Shabab and Somalia.

104
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: You listen to that CBS report and you can see

105
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: just how bad the corruption is. Not only how bad

106
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: the corruption is, but also the fact that there's been

107
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: a long history of it and the governor was looking

108
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: the other way. Tim Waltz now on Defense saying this

109
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 3: about the Somali community at a press conference today.

110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear.

111
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 6: More from members of leaders from a small community to say,

112
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 6: we need to hold our we need to look at ourselves,

113
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 6: we need to call our own neighbors acout is look

114
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 6: at the damage that this is. Don tor he what

115
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 6: do you want to hear more from it?

116
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 4: Say?

117
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: I just saying, don't lay us. Do you want to

118
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: see more ownership and oversight from.

119
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 5: Look, it's not law abiding citizens. If that were the case,

120
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 5: there's a lot of white men. Should be holding a

121
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 5: lot of white men accountable for the crimes that they

122
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: have committed. I think for the community to maybe educate

123
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 5: their population, because I think what you're seeing here is

124
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 5: there are secondary victims in this that there's providers inside

125
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: the community that are then victimizing the community himself by

126
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: signing them up. Because when we're going to some of

127
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 5: these people, they're like, I had no idea I was

128
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 5: in this program. So I think it's asking us, then,

129
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 5: you know, for every crime, which of course the majority

130
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 5: being committed by white men, asking us to do more

131
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: about that. I think it's crime in general. And I

132
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 5: think the biggest thing on this is is just making

133
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 5: sure that we're educating the population. And again, this is

134
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: eighty people or so that have been convicted in this,

135
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: maybe some more in that out of a.

136
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: You listen to Waltz, there if some alli communities should

137
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: hold their own accountable, quote, a lot of white men

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: should be holding white men accountable. This is still a

139
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 3: governor that is trying to turn this into some racial

140
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: issue instead of a massive fraud issue. There is fraud

141
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: in the small community. They figured out how defraud the

142
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: federal government. The people that are coming into Minnesota are

143
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: understanding how to grab American dollars and send them back

144
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: home to not only family members, but to literal terrorist organizations.

145
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: Al Shabab. Tim Waltz saying this as well.

146
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 6: Connor, is the welch and spoiled or can you count

147
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 6: on flaw issue with the US Security's.

148
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: Office here and one hundred percent that well is not spoiled.

149
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: I would let Drew talk to that, and I'm going

150
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: to say that in the midst of what's very clearly

151
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: a vindictive attack on Minnesota from this administration, I will

152
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: say this, the bright point on this has been the

153
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 5: US Attorney's office, and you saw that when Andy Lueger left,

154
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 5: we never missed a beat to Joe Thompson and they

155
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 5: have been good point. I'll let Drew talk by that

156
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 5: he worked with them and we have talked about this,

157
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: and look, I have to assess this too. I understand

158
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 5: when I speak up it brings is Donald Trump's petty

159
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 5: vindictiveness to Minnesota, and this is all about coming and

160
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 5: attacking us. He didn't know anything about this. He doesn't

161
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: know how Medicaid program works. The only thing he knows

162
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 5: about is he going to double the cost over the

163
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 5: next week. But he doesn't know how these programs work

164
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: or anything about it. So he heard and somebody told

165
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 5: him the Somalis are stealing money and they're not doing

166
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: anything about throw it up there. That's not how the

167
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 5: US Attorney's office works.

168
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: You listen to Tim Waltz and he's saying it yet again,

169
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: this is vindictive. So all the waste, all the fraud,

170
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: all the abuse, sitting many to terrorists. Tim Waltz is

171
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: telling you, he's telling the American people, no, no, no, this

172
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: is really about vindictive Donald Trump. So then if that's

173
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: the case, why did moments later he say this.

174
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 5: So if you try and commit fraud Minnesota, and there's

175
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 5: folks out there listening right now, you are going to

176
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: prison eventually. I think the biggest thing on this is

177
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 5: is you'll hear from some of the experts here. Many

178
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 5: of these programs, especially federal medicaid and medicare plagues every state,

179
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: and when you set down and dig into this, it

180
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: takes weeks and weeks and weeks, and actually it takes

181
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 5: years to become experts in this. These are programs that

182
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: have been layered up in a spider web over the years.

183
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: That makes it incredibly difficult, and I think unwinding those

184
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: are bringing about the integrity. It's the reason why we're

185
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: seeing federal agencies under the Trump administration acknowledge the work

186
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 5: that's being done, acknowledge that these things are better, and

187
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: actually suggesting in other states when I talk to them

188
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: about implementing that, because they're going to deal with it.

189
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: COVID moved a lot of money very very quickly, and

190
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 5: our goal was to make sure we were moving that

191
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 5: money so that people ate that they were housed, that

192
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: they had vaccines. But it also opened up the door

193
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 5: to relax the guardrails and to have fraud be committed.

194
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: So there it is the governor yet again blaming everybody

195
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: else but himself, and that is why this has become

196
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: such a massive problem yet again, when there's very clear

197
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: fraud at a level that is a scan that is broken,

198
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: that is putting his governorship in real peril. He's saying

199
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: this is somehow just Donald Trump's fault. It's vindictiveness. But eventually,

200
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: as he describes, if you're breaking a law, yeah, okay,

201
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: you'll go to jail, and then immediately goes back to

202
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 3: playing politics. I look at this governor and he goes

203
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: back to say one final thing, giving another excuse for

204
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 3: why this happened. This time, he's not blaming the fact

205
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 3: that he and the people around him refuse to look

206
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: at the Somali community for what they are doing in

207
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: the crimes of committing No, no, you want to know

208
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: what he says. The real problem is, you know, he's

209
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: actually blaming for the waste, fraud and abuse and the

210
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: money going to terrorist organizations. He says, it's a I's fault.

211
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: I'm not joking. This is his final excuse.

212
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 5: Any amount of fraud is too much. That's where over

213
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 5: the last several years, we've made many systematic changes to

214
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 5: state government to both detect fraud and hold those accountable

215
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: after it happened. Year after year, we brought new ideas

216
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 5: to the legislature to stay ahead of the evolving tactics,

217
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: and they are evolving. AI poses immense challenges in the

218
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: fraud space. We sought top to bottom change in state

219
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: government to create stronger oversite. We leveraged outside experts, We

220
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,119
Speaker 5: modernize technology, and hold criminals accountable.

221
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: So there it is a governor seeing billions of dollars

222
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 3: stowing from the American people and he says it's a

223
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: conspiracy and Trump is the problem by trying to crack

224
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: down on it. He then says it's not actually happening,

225
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: But if it is happening, eventually you will get put

226
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: in jail eventually, and then he says it's really AI's

227
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: problem that this is happening, not the government for allowing

228
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: it to happen in Minnesota. If you want to know

229
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: how broken Minnesota is, this is a perfect example of

230
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: it and exactly why the Treasury Department, the IRS, and

231
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: the federal government is involved under Trump's leadership, to stop

232
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: your tax dollars from going to this abuse and going

233
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: to Harris as well.
