🚨BREAKING: A 30-year Minnesota State Trooper is challenging Ilhan Omar in one of America’s bluest districts — and making fraud the centerpiece of his campaign.John Nagel won the Republican primary in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District and is now drawing a direct line between Omar and the massive Feeding Our Future scandal that siphoned millions in child nutrition funds.Nagel points to the fact that a former Omar campaign staffer pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and a restaurant she publicly promoted as a meal distribution site was later convicted in the scheme.“I think the people of Minnesota have been lied to. They’ve had their money stolen. They want to see somebody that’s going to come in and fix things,” Nagel told Fox News Digital.Omar has called any suggestion that she knew about the fraud “flat-out false.”Nagel, a longtime law enforcement officer and Minnesota native, faces an uphill battle in the heavily Democratic district but is betting that anger over fraud and accountability will resonate with voters.
