Another massive fraud scandal has erupted in Minnesota, governed by Democrat Tim Walz. The new corruption case involves a nonprofit organization for "crime prevention" that allegedly funneled $6.5 million in taxpayer-funded money to finance luxury cars, trips to Las Vegas, and personal businesses of its founder.
The far-left Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, filed a lawsuit against We Push for Peace, its founder Trahern Pollard, and former director Jaclyn McGuigan, accusing them of treating the organization as their personal business while they were supposed to work to disrupt violence in Minneapolis, all with the backing of Tim Walz's office.
The court document alleges that Pollard and McGuigan diverted more than $6 million directly for their personal benefit. With the embezzled money, the accused took luxurious trips, made exorbitant purchases, and even financed a liquor store.

The details of the case
Pollard is also accused of using the organization to pay off debts with the IRS and subsidize his private businesses, making a mysterious payment of $35,000 to an organization in Chicago. Meanwhile, McGuigan, who served as treasurer of the Democrat-funded NGO, transferred thousands of dollars from the entity's funds to her personal bank account under the guise of "administrative expenses."
"Instead of helping the community, they took millions of dollars that should have gone to the community," Ellison wrote in a statement acknowledging the web of corruption in which his government is immersed.
Prosecutors emphasized that when the city of Minneapolis requested the NGO's help during the Metro Surge Operation - a major national security operation launched by the Trump administration to stop and deport illegal immigrants from the city that the Democratic government was protecting - the fraudulent entity was "completely unable" to respond to the call.
