Coronavirus Relief Fraud Trial in Minnesota

Two jurors have been dismissed in a major coronavirus relief fraud trial in Minnesota after attempts to bribe them with $120,000 each in exchange for voting to acquit defendants accused of defrauding the government of $250 million intended for needy children. The accused allegedly used a program called 'Feeding Our Future' to file for relief funding but few children actually received aid. The trial involves around 60 Somali migrants, with some pleading guilty and others pleading not guilty.
