Convicted Minnesota fraudster alleges Walz, Ellison were aware of widespread fraud
Fox News ^ | 01/22/2026 | Ashley Carnahan , Alexis McAdams

A Minnesota woman convicted in one of the state’s largest fraud schemes alleged in a jailhouse interview that Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were aware of widespread fraud well before federal prosecutors stepped in.

Aimee Bock, the former head of the nonprofit Feeding Our Future, spoke to Fox News from Sherburne County Jail in Minnesota, claiming state officials continued approving and paying claims even after concerns were raised about potential fraud.

Bock alleged the state approved program sponsors and was responsible for monitoring claims, but officials repeatedly failed to investigate or stop suspicious companies after she flagged them.

"I honestly believe Keith Ellison and Gov. Walz need to be held accountable. There needs to be an investigation done. If they weren't aware, that's concerning," she told Fox News.

"I have to believe that the governor's office and Keith Ellison's office were aware of this. They've said they were involved in helping the FBI. They've said they were made aware, but apparently I'm scary, so they couldn't do anything," Bock added.

In response, a spokesperson for Ellison's office said Bock lacked credibility, pointing out her federal prison sentence. "She is a liar, fraudster, and manipulator of the highest order who has never acknowledged or accepted her guilt. Now, she’s on a media tour to deflect her guilt onto others instead of finally taking responsibility for the fraud scheme she ran," the spokesperson said.

"Federal and state investigators meticulously examined the crimes Bock and her accomplices committed," the Ellison spokesperson continued. "Bock alone is responsible for her own actions, which was proven in court beyond a shadow of a doubt, and her claim about Attorney General Ellison is a lie without a shred of evidence behind it."

Well at least they didn't take out a bank loan and pay it back with interest or *gasp* sign a non-disclosure agreement!

“I have to believe...” Can you prove beyond a reasonable doubt? Fraudster Aimee Bock should been prison the rest of her life at the very least. IMO she should be terminated.

It’s the old “I didn’t do it. No one saw me. You can’t prove a thing” ploy by Ellison.

If they took out all the guardrails against Fraud, which they did, of course they are complicit.

Seems that I remember (from sometime in the past) that Keith Ellison was a very questionable name in politics. What do these guys do? Wait a few years & hope that nobody remembers their questionable names? If that is so, it will be well after I’m buried that people forget the names of Obama & Biden.

EVERYBODY here knew it was going on. Any mention of it and you were labeled a racist. To us, it is comical watching these idiots pretend that they just found out about it.

Sargent Schultz’s, all of them.

They can hide behind the “incompetence is not a crime” defense. Look at Biden.

Just who is the head of the Democratic Cartel? Is it Kamala? The right media should be sticking microphones in her face continuously and demanding answers about the fraud and violence incitement.

The key question is why Ellison and Walz looked the other way. Until there is something tangible to connect the fraudsters to the Democrat Party, I don’t think this story will ever have much of an impact.

Lets see what evidence she may provide.
