Extra: A Deep Dive into Minnesota’s Rampant Fraud and Beyond
from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts
Earlier this week, we took a deep dive into systemic fraud with former police officer and Minnesota fraud investigator Scott Dexter. Dexter recently took his findings to Congress, testifying about the rampant misuse of taxpayer funds he uncovered between 2014 and 2019. While his investigations predate the high-profile COVID-era scandals, Dexter argues that the patterns he found established a troubling "blueprint" for the "rampant" fraud we see today. Dexter spoke with FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal about how certain scams were carried out and why he is confident that the fraud causing so much outrage in Minnesota right now is just the tip of the iceberg—a much bigger nationwide problem affecting various government programs. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full conversation. Today on The FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Scott Dexter to explore fraud in Minnesota, the challenges of addressing it, and why the problem extends far beyond the North Star State.
