Some of the #DOJ’s interest, acc/to one of the sources, comes from a Washington Examiner [ #FarRight tabloid] report from earlier this month that claimed Gov #TimWalz, Rep #IlhanOmar & other state politicians received campaign donations from people implicated in the #Minnesota public benefits fraud scheme & community care providers.

The request came about 2 weeks ago from top lawyers working for fmr personal #Trump atty DAG #ToddBlanche. They “asked” the #FBI to initiate “investigations” into whether money obtained illegally for organizations, such as #FoodAssistance #charities & home #healthcare centers, went to the campaigns, acc/to the source.

The public corruption section at the #FBI told Blanche’s office that it is looking, but HASN’T yet FOUND EVIDENCE of campaign wrongdoing.
