00:00You know what? This is a theatrical performance.
00:02This is the truth. This is what accountability looks like, of which you've had none.
00:06You helped fraudsters defraud your state and this government of $9 billion,
00:11and you got a fat campaign contribution out of it.
00:14You ought to be indicted. That's the truth.
00:17I think we've made the point. Let's keep the tenor just a little more calm.
00:21I'll ask how I want to, sir.
00:22He's lying, and that's the truth.
00:24Oh, no, this is all on the record, sir.
00:26Did you bother to investigate where the money that you facilitated their fraud for, where it went?
00:32Do you know where it went, what it was used for, the fraudulent money?
00:35I do, because we just heard testimony about it yesterday.
00:38Because we were key players in the investigation.
00:41Hundreds of millions of dollars to terrorist groups, to transnational criminal organizations,
00:45to the drug trade, to drug trafficking, to child trafficking.
00:49And you took $10,000 and helped them do it.
00:53You know, the other thing is, whistleblowers came to you as early as 2019.
00:57Let's look.
00:59As early as 2019, whistleblowers.
01:01Don't talk over me.
01:02No, no, you're talking over me.
01:04It's my hearing, pal.
01:06As early as 2019, whistleblowers came to you.
01:10Well, I should call you a prisoner, because you ought to be in jail.
01:12Well, see what you can do about it.
01:13In 2019, whistleblowers came to you in your office
01:17and referred to you fraud allegations from Feeding Our Futures, and you blew them off.
01:21Listen, your own state newspaper investigated, the Minnesota Star Tribune.
01:25The Partners in Nutrition brought its concerns to the Attorney General's office in 2018 and in 2019,
01:31and you did nothing.
