Overview
- Federal prosecutors filed a motion Tuesday alleging Aimee Bock told her sons to pull documents from her case and send them to lawmakers and reporters before her May 21 sentencing.
- The filing says she directed a son to download files from her Dropbox, strip trial exhibit stickers, and push the material to Republicans in Washington and to news outlets.
- Prosecutors say a Star Tribune reporter told a lawyer they had law‑enforcement interview reports that could only come from protected discovery covered by a 2022 court order.
- The government asks the judge to block Bock’s Dropbox access, seize any protected copies including a son’s computer, and bar all contact with her sons before sentencing, with a hearing set for Thursday after a defense reply due by 5 p.m. Wednesday.
- Bock’s lawyer says her sons only tried to draw attention to her case, while prosecutors argue the leaks put cooperating witnesses at risk in a federal child‑nutrition fraud case they peg at about $250 million.
