Pam Bondi Issues Damage-Control Statement After Explosive Backlash Over DOJ’s Alleged Failure to Act on Massive Minnesota Somali Fraud

 

According to Bondi:

  • 98 individuals have been charged
  • 85 are of Somali descent
  • More than 60 have already been convicted

She warned lawmakers that “more prosecutions are coming,” adding, “Buckle up.”

Bondi praised U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen and local Minnesota media for assisting in building cases.

Pam Bondi wrote on X:

MINNESOTA FRAUD:

@NickShirleyyy’s work has helped show Americans the scale of fraud in Tim Walz’s Minnesota.

@TheJusticeDept has been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged 98 individuals – 85 of Somali descent – and more than 60 have been found guilty in court.

We have more prosecutions coming… BUCKLE UP, LAWMAKERS!
