Chuck Schumer cries and FALLS APART on senate Floor: ‘Trump Did This!”

There has been no indication in court filings that Omar has been charged with any wrongdoing, and prosecutors have not publicly accused her of participating in the fraud scheme. Omar did not appear at a recent hearing held by Minnesota’s Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee examining the scandal.

Committee Chair Kristin Robbins sent Omar a letter requesting documents and correspondence tied to the case. “I think it shows just incredible arrogance and disdain for the people of Minnesota,” Robbins said. “She is refusing to show up and answer questions in person, she’s refusing to respond to our requests for data, and I mean, honestly, she’s even refusing to respond at all.”

Robbins noted that lawmakers are seeking a clearer understanding of any communications between Omar’s office and individuals involved in Feeding Our Future. Critics have also pointed to Omar’s support for the MEALS Act, legislation that loosened oversight requirements for federally funded food programs during the pandemic.
