Hope Walz said that Trump hated her father for some reason and then suggested that it was because her father is everything that Trump will never be. She also mentioned the threats that were directed at her brother and her, indicating this as a major contributing factor to Tim Walz&#8217;s not wanting to run to keep his job.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8216;I think he believes if he&#8217;s not in the race, there&#8217;s nothing, they have nothing else,&#8217; Hope claimed.<\/p>\n<p>The first daughter of Minnesota then argued that her father has taken the brunt of the blame &#8216;because he has that national profile [and] Trump just hates him for some reason,&#8217; though she said, &#8216;I think it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s everything Trump will never be.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think he was popular during the campaign last fall and he&#8217;s still in office and he&#8217;s running again, and so it&#8217;s just kind of an easy thing for them to pick up on,&#8217; Hope said of the widening scandal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And I think there&#8217;s enough truth to the fraud claims&#8230; that they were able to twist and amplify it and what not because it is being dealt with,&#8217; she argued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They were just able to frame it in a way that benefitted them.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The scandal erupted when independent journalist Nick Shirley conducted a series of visits to Minnesota daycares that serve the Somali community, attempting to interview the operators, and published his findings on X.<\/p>\n<p>He said that one daycare in Hennepin County appeared to be closed when he visited, even though he claims it had received about $4 million in state childcare subsidies &#8212; a charge the center disputes and which has not been independently verified.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the shocking film sparked an immediate federal response including by FBI Director Kash Patel and Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem, who then announced investigations into the loans.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors now say at least 57 people connected with the Feeding Our Future program billed the federal government $250 million, claiming to buy meals for children during the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the defendants allegedly used the stolen money to buy Lamborghinis, Porsche SUVs, beachfront property in Kenya and private villas in the Maldives. The vast majority of those convicted in the case are Somali.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators also found that around $9 billion in federal Medicaid funds supporting 14 Minnesota programs since 2018 may have been stolen, US Attorney Joe Thompson announced on December 18.<\/p>\n<p>Eighty-two of the 92 defendants in the child nutrition, housing services and autism program scams are Somali, prosecutors say.<\/p>\n<p>It was later revealed that Walz had connections with at least some of the refugees charged in the fraudulent scheme.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Additional Reading:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Koenig, M.
