🚨WATCH: 'What we found was deeply concerning'

Scott Dexter, a former Minnesota Department of Human Services investigator, testified to Congress that he spent nearly three decades conducting criminal and financial fraud investigations, including in the state’s Child Care Assistance Program before political pressure and bureaucratic hurdles brought meaningful investigations to a halt.

After joining DHS in 2013 as part of a newly formed fraud unit, Dexter said his team focused on data-driven cases.

“Our cases were not selected based on the name of the center, the owner, or the community it served,” Dexter told lawmakers. “They were selected based solely on tips, complaints, and the amount of CCAP funding being paid out.”

Dexter said that what investigators found raised serious red flags.

“Many of these centers operated out of commercial spaces with windows totally covered, no visible play areas, and very few children ever present,” Dexter said.

He said investigators documented “patterns of overbilling, nonexistent attendance, and in some cases, children being signed in for hours they were never actually at the center.”

"As our investigations progressed, we noticed a trend: many of the centers receiving the highest levels of CCAP funding were owned and operated by Somali individuals, and the families served were predominantly Somali. This was not the basis for selecting cases, but it did become the basis for accusations against us," he said.

Despite mounting evidence, Dexter said oversight tightened — not on fraudsters, but on investigators.

“We were labeled as racially biased,” he testified.

Eventually, Dexter said, investigations became nearly impossible.

"An outside review was launched into our investigative practices. We were questioned about how we selected centers and how we conducted surveillance. Following that review, new restrictions were placed on our work," he said.

“In 2019, I chose to retire because the investigative process had become so constrained that meaningful work was no longer possible.”

The evening this photo was taken, Charlie and I were hounded by people in the audience who hurled hatred at me for being gay and Charlie for giving me a platform.

The crowd got unruly and rowdy, and afterwards we sat in a holding room waiting for our escort and car out.

I was shaken. I hadn’t experienced anything like it before. Charlie looked me directly in the eyes and said this: “God loves you, you are a part of this movement, and we’ve got your back.”

Charlie and TPUSA always did, though I was too deeply immature and new to the realities of being a public figure that I didn’t realize how much they actually did support and protect me in a myriad of different ways.

That is who Charlie Kirk was. I will not allow his humanity to be reduced to soundbites spread by people who never met him and want to use his Biblical beliefs as an excuse to paint him as a hateful, extremist caricature.

Charlie was about growing the movement. He always knew that politics is about addition and not subtraction. I am but one of the many public figures supported and created by Charlie.

This is why he will never be forgotten. This is why his legend and movement will only grow. It’s not that he was just a great man, but that he was also a good one. Few are both, but Charlie was.

There will be nothing that I do for the rest of my existence in public life that isn’t directly influenced by his belief in me when it mattered.

You are with the Father, my brother in Christ. Rest in Peace.

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We've got it from here.

🚨NEW: Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) says pardoned J6 Select Committee members should “expect a subpoena soon."

"Buckle up, because we're going to get to the bottom of the nonsense. select committee for January 6th."

"There's a reason that everybody on that committee was pardoned. It's because they were not telling the truth."

"They embellish, they lie, and we're going to show them exactly what happened."

“Because they're pardoned, they don't have an excuse not to come in and testify for us. So we're going to get to the bottom of this. Particularly the members that are no longer in office. Expect to expect a subpoena soon."

Timmons serves on the House Oversight Committee.

As far as P Diddy and now Jay Z being accused of raping children, I personally believe pedophiles should receive the death penalty if found guilty.

You rape a child, you drug and forcefully rape a child, you traffic children and sell them for sex, you should face the most severe consequences.

The entertainment industry’s sick methods of making stars needs to end immediately.

And America’s child sex trafficking industry must be abolished.
