NEW: A Minnesota state rep says there is “plenty of evidence” that taxpayer money tied to a Minnesota fraud scheme ended up directly and indirectly in the hands of al-Shabaab, the largest al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia.
Rep. Byron Donalds puts the allegation bluntly:
“So, taxpayer money, United States dollars, that are being remitted into Somalia, in parts, have been utilized or have fell into the hands of al-Shabaab. Do you think that's a correct assessment?”
MN STATE REP: “Yes. We have plenty of evidence of that from money directly going to al-Shabaab, but then also indirectly, because they take a cut of whatever gets sent to Somalia.”
