(The Center Square) - Minnesota lawmakers are questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s role in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme as investigations and prosecutions continue.


On Tuesday, the state House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee focused in on Omar’s sponsorship of federal legislation in 2020 that expanded access to child nutrition programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Committee chair Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, said she was frustrated with Omar’s refusal to testify or appear before the committee. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, also a Democrat, also did not appear.

“They are both key players in the child nutrition scandal and fraud – billions of our tax dollars that were stolen – and neither of them came to answer questions about their involvement," Robbins told The Center Square in an exclusive interview.
