| 2025-07-30 |
| [STARTRIBUNE] Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson is a 6—foot-5 Minnesota native who has loomed large over state government for the past several years, finding and prosecuting fraud in numerous state programs. He has led the prosecution of Feeding Our Future fraud, which former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland called the nation’s largest pandemic relief fraud scheme to result in charges. And he’s led fraud investigations in a state autism program, addiction treatment, and most recently, a "massive scheme" in a state housing stabilization program. Thompson recently estimated the amount of state money lost to fraud in these cases at over $1 billion.
