Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has finally spoken out on allegations that she was involved in a major fraud scandal during the COVID pandemic.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, court exhibits from the massive $250 MILLION Feeding Our Future fraud trial have revealed that Omar’s name appeared several times in email chains and text messages with convicted fraudster Aimee Bock.
Bock served as the mastermind behind the largest COVID-era fraud scheme targeting children’s nutrition programs.
According to trial exhibits unsealed in Aimee Bock’s case, Omar’s office was directly involved in communications with the fraud ring.
Bock has also stated that she believes Omar knew exactly what was going on and actively helped keep the fraudulent program alive.
“I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known,” Bock said of Omar.
This would certainly make sense. As The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald noted, Omar personally introduced the Maintaining Essential Access to Lunch for Students (MEALS) Act in March 2020, which gave the USDA authority to issue those waivers during the pandemic.
