Overview
- The Minnesota House fraud committee fell one vote short Tuesday of the two‑thirds needed to subpoena Rep. Ilhan Omar for records tied to the Feeding Our Future case.
- Omar did not provide the requested emails, texts, and meeting notes by the May 5 deadline that Chair Kristin Robbins set in an April 22 demand letter.
- Lawmakers sought communications about Minneapolis’s Safari Restaurant as a meal site, contacts with nonprofit leader Aimee Bock, and messages with ex‑Omar staffer Guhaad Hashi Said who has pleaded guilty.
- Robbins said she will ask House Republicans to consider a federal subpoena next because the state panel has little power to compel a sitting member of Congress.
- FOX 9 reported prosecutors listed early‑2021 emails between Bock and Omar’s office as trial exhibits, and federal agents in late April searched 22 Minnesota sites in a fraud probe that has produced dozens of convictions, while Omar has not been accused of a crime.
