That's not more information. That's a reference to the same OP article.

I haven't seen any proof at all. And neither have you.

Why should the DOJ release it to you or me? Again, just because you have not seen the evidence, which you are not entitled to, doesnt mean it does not exist. So how do you know that there is no evidence?

Treasury investigating whether Minnesota welfare money went to Somali terror group al Shabaab, Bessent says

The Trump administration is looking into whether Minnesota tax money found its way to al Shabaab, an al Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

The Trump administration is looking into whether Minnesota tax money found its way to al Shabaab, a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization and al Qaeda affiliate based in Somalia, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday.

Bessent wrote on X that the Treasury is "investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans' tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab."

The Treasury secretary shared a Nov. 19 report in the conservative publication City Journal that alleged millions of dollars from Minnesota state welfare programs had "ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab," citing law enforcement sources. Several Minnesota Republicans, including Rep. Tom Emmer, pushed federal prosecutors to look into the allegations.

So you nor I have any knowledge of any information that proves the claim. Just like I said.

Thanks for that. From the Office of Legislative Auditor linked to that article:

OLA ASSESSMENT

Stillman’s statements and the Fox 9 stories created a strong and disturbing picture of individuals in Minnesota defrauding the state’s Child Care Assistance Program and sending the money to foreign countries where terrorists have obtained the money to fund their organizations and operations. Despite the serious nature of the allegation, neither Stillman nor Fox 9 presented specific evidence to substantiate the allegation. We asked Stillman for evidence that connected Minnesota CCAP fraud money to a terrorist organization, but he did not provide it to us. He said investigators and law enforcement agencies had the evidence. We sought the evidence from investigators, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and court records, but did not find it there either.​

​

Having not found evidence that clearly and directly connected CCAP fraud money to a terrorist organization in a foreign country, we examined the circumstantial evidence that Stillman has referenced in making the allegation. We think it is important to acknowledge that evidence in this report. First, as we discussed in Chapter 2, several individuals with connections to Somalia have been convicted of defrauding the Child Care Assistance Program."​

​

In other words, just like the OP article and claims made by poster's here, the allegations have no proof.
And when the claimants are asked for proof by the Auditors office, they provide none.

Since we are all concerned with fraud within the HHS. Can anyone name the largest case of fraud given HHS?

Largest Justice Department Health Care Fraud Takedown in History More than Doubles Prior Record of $6 Billion​

The Justice Department today announced the results of its 2025 National Health Care Fraud Takedown, which resulted in criminal charges against 324 defendants, including 96 doctors, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and other licensed medical professionals, in 50 federal districts and 12 State Attorneys General’s Offices across the United States, for their alleged participation in various health care fraud schemes involving over $14.6 billion in intended loss. The Takedown involved federal and state law enforcement agencies across the country and represents an unprecedented effort to combat health care fraud schemes that exploit patients and taxpayers.​

I do realize they are not Somalians, nor are they Muslim. But it makes them look like rank armatures.

I'm sure they have a Trump Pardon coming in the mail.

Simply proclaim they were politically prosecuted and Trump will pardon them.

Trump's affection of white collar criminals who enact fraud says different.

That didn't happen.

No. It is not.

No proof that has been released by the DOJ.

For Al-Qaida members living in Somalia.

So ridiculous I won't even ask for a reference from a reliable source.
