U.S. Treasury investigating Minnesota tax dollars possibly linked to Al-Shabaab

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KVRR/FOX9) — U.S. Treasury is looking into claims that Minnesotans’ tax money might have been misused to support the terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the investigation via social media writing it was initiated due to concerns over the management of funds under the Biden Administration and Gov. Tim Walz.

He says Treasury is working to ensure that taxpayer money is not being used to support global terrorism.

Treasury is acting swiftly under the guidance of President Trump to address these serious allegations and protect taxpayer interests.

The specific details of how the funds were allegedly diverted and the timeline for the investigation’s conclusion are not yet available.
