DOJ Announces Charges For $90 Million Fraud Schemes In Minnesota

FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X Thursday: "Today - 15 individuals have been indicted for over $90 million in an alleged massive healthcare fraud scheme in Minnesota, after a sweeping FBI investigation with @TheJusticeDept and our Interagency Partners. These charges involve the two LARGEST Medicaid fraud cases ever charged in this district and first-of-their kind charges involving 7 additional Medicaid programs. As alleged, the defendants defrauded Minnesota public healthcare resources for tens of millions, targeting programs such as Housing Stabilization Services, Child Care, Medicaid programs, Individualized Home Supports (IHS), and more. In one case, defendants even developed a scheme worth over $40 million to target the Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) – an autism healthcare program - paying kickbacks to parents who fraudulently used autism centers to diagnose children with autism regardless of medical necessity, and billing for services not actually provided. This not only defrauded taxpayers, but robbed valuable resources from families truly in need. President Trump gave this law enforcement team a mandate to investigate and systematically dismantle this exact kind of public fraud in America – which grossly abuses and mismanages money from hardworking American taxpayers - and that’s exactly what we’re doing. Today’s indictment in a massive moment in this effort. More to come."

Higher fuel prices have some Americans scaling back holiday travel plans

The U.S. Travel Association expects annual travel spending to grow by a modest 1% this year, powered largely by domestic leisure travel despite the FIFA World Cup giving soccer fans from other countries a reason to visit the U.S. Airfares have climbed around the world along with the price of jet fuel as the war constrains global oil supplies. Sticking closer to home may not cushion the sticker shock. The nonprofit Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimated Americans would collectively spend an extra $3.5 billion on gasoline over the holiday weekend. The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the U.S. was $4.56 on Thursday compared to $3.18 a year ago, according to motor club AAA. Other travel expenses have gone up too. The latest consumer price index showed airfares were 20.7% higher in April from a year earlier, the cost of intracity transit such as buses and subways rose 5.6%, lodging cost 4.3% more, and eating out got 3.6% pricier.

MN Hunger Non-Profit Leader Gets 41 Years In Prison For $250 Million Fraud Scheme

May 19 (Reuters) - The leader of a Minnesota non-profit group was sentenced to 41 years in prison on Thursday after she was convicted last year of being the ringleader of a $250 million scheme to defraud a federally funded child nutrition program. Aimee Bock, 45, was charged in 2022 with using her non-profit group Feeding Our Future to enact what the Justice Department said was the largest known fraud against the U.S. government's relief programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 70 other people have been charged alongside Bock. The fraud has been often invoked by U.S. President Donald Trump, a Republican, as part of his rationale for targeting Minnesota, led by Democrats, for an aggressive surge in arresting immigrants earlier this year. Bock cried as she addressed U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel at the federal courthouse in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported: "I don’t have the words to express just how horrible I feel. I know I’m responsible." Federal prosecutors had sought 50 years in prison. In sentencing Bock to 500 months, or 41 years and eight months, Brasel said a lengthy sentence was necessary because of Bock's central role. "This is a vortex of fraud, and you were at the epicenter," the judge said, according to the Star Tribune.

House Set To Vote On Iran War Powers Resolution

The House is expected to vote today on legislation that would compel President Donald Trump to withdraw from the war with Iran. Democrats argue the military campaign was launched without congressional approval and violates the War Powers Resolution.

GOP weighs dropping White House security funding

Senate Republicans are expected to abandon a proposal that would provide $1 billion for security upgrades at the White House complex and President Donald Trump’s new ballroom project. The White House had pushed to include the funding in a larger bill aimed at restoring money for ICE and the Border Patrol.

The debate highlights growing divisions within the GOP over federal spending priorities.

Lawmakers debate TSA funding and privatization

Lawmakers on a House committee are showing bipartisan support for ensuring TSA officers are paid during future government shutdowns while also pushing for updated airport security technology. The hearing comes as the Trump administration continues to push a plan that would expand the use of private contractors to handle airport screening at smaller airports nationwide. Officials noted TSA officers went without pay for more than 100 days during recent funding lapses while continuing to work security checkpoints. The proposal would also cut thousands of TSA positions while shifting more airport security operations to private companies.
