Jim Jordan confirms that Saleem Say and Amy Bach, who ran "Feeding Our Future," have been indicted, convicted, and are currently in jail awaiting sentencing.

In this House Oversight Committee hearing, Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) questions witnesses about the "Feeding Our Future" fraud case in Minnesota.

Here's a summary of the key points:

Individuals Indicted and Convicted (0:02-0:20): Jim Jordan confirms that Saleem Say and Amy Bach, who ran "Feeding Our Future," have been indicted, convicted, and are currently in jail awaiting sentencing.

Suspension and Resumption of Payments (0:30-0:47): On March 30, 2021, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) suspended payments to "Feeding Our Future" due to credible allegations of fraud from whistleblowers. However, a month later, they resumed payments.

Influence of the Somali Community and Lawsuit (0:48-1:36): According to the witness, the MDE resumed payments due to pressure from their constituency within the Somali community, who accused the state agencies of being racist. This led to a lawsuit filed by "Feeding Our Future" affiliates alleging racial discrimination.

Attorney General Keith Ellison's Involvement (1:44-2:46): A meeting took place between Attorney General Keith Ellison and affiliates of "Feeding Our Future," which was audio-recorded and entered as evidence in the trial. The witness observes that Ellison's focus during the meeting was on keeping the program in business and ensuring money continued to flow, with no questions asked about the children being fed. Ellison even stated he would "fight these people" in reference to the state agencies, who are his clients.

Political Contributions (2:40-3:08): It's alleged that money flowed to Attorney General Ellison's campaign a couple of weeks after this meeting from some of the individuals present.

Scale of the Fraud (3:09-3:53): The fraud is described as much larger than just "Feeding Our Future," involving at least six different federal agencies (Department of Homeland Security, Human Services, Small Business Association, Housing and Urban Development, Department of Labor, Department of Agriculture) over the last 15 years.

Accusations against the Administration (3:33-3:53): Jordan asserts that the current administration is not only overlooking the fraud but actively assisting it, going after whistleblowers, and benefiting politically from campaign contributions.

Unprecedented Scale (4:07-4:27): Witnesses express that they have never seen anything like this in their time in public service, describing the scale of the fraud as "unbelievable" and "breathtaking."

Allegations of Deception and Racism Accusations (4:42-5:10): The witness and Jim Jordan conclude by stating that there's a pattern where "the left will tell a lie" about feeding kids while shaking down taxpayers, the media either reports the lie or doesn't report the truth, and then when the truth is told, they are called racist.
