“I struggle to believe that she wouldn’t have known.”
Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar likely knew about her state’s massive COVID-19 meal fraud scheme, according to nonprofit Feeding Our Future founder Aimee Bock.
Bock was convicted in March 2025 on charges including conspiracy, bribery, and wire fraud for her alleged role in a scheme to defraud federal child nutrition funds of roughly $250 million. Authorities have alleged that Bock helped restaurant owners submit fake or inflated reimbursement claims for meals supposedly served to low-income children, which allowed participants to collect millions of dollars.
In an interview with the New York Post while awaiting sentencing, Bock said that she “struggle[s] to believe that” Representative Omar wouldn’t have known about the fraud.
Bock has denied knowingly participating in criminal conduct, arguing that she attempted to warn state officials and that her organization reviewed reimbursement paperwork submitted by participating restaurants before distributing funds. “The notion that I’m personally responsible for all of it… is so frustrating. I’m the only white person out of 80 or 90 individuals [charged in the fraud]. I’m the only one that doesn’t speak the language,” she said.
The fraud case has drawn scrutiny toward Minnesota’s Somali community after dozens of individuals were convicted in connection with building the state Department of Education for millions of meals that prosecutors said were never provided to children.
Of course she knew. But, what will be done about it????
It’s so frustrating that this woman walks around free as a bird with all this evidence pointing to her as a thief, liar, and terrorist! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT KASH AND THE DOJ !!
I hope that Aimee Bock is the little fish that they are going to use to catch the big one. But we will see if anything ever comes from it.
