NEW: A senior FBI source tells @bennyjohnson the Bureau has surged investigators to Minneapolis and predicts “public takedown” of Somali fraudsters STEALING from the American people.
Benny Johnson: “The official told me they are keenly aware of Nick Shirley’s investigation and it ‘tracks’ with ongoing FBI criminal work in the area.”
“‘Billions in stolen federal dollars through fraudulent businesses. These are serious federal crimes which may result in severe fines, decades of prison sentences and potential deportations.’”
FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on 𝕏 moments ago: “The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.”
