Department of Justice has active investigations in Minnesota and the stated counts of charges, convictions, subpoenas, search warrants, and witness interviews have been issued/executed/conducted as reported.
Available public evidence does not independently corroborate the specific operational metrics claimed (98 defendants charged, 85 of Somali descent, 64 convictions, 1,750+ subpoenas, 130+ search warrants, 1,000+ witness interviews) as a formal Department of Justice accounting.
Credible secondary reports (e.g., Minnesota and national outlets) do confirm large, ongoing federal fraud investigations in Minnesota involving programs like Feeding Our Future, Housing Stabilization Services, and Medicaid-related schemes, and they reference dozens of defendants and numerous search warrants. However, these reports do not match or verify the precise numbers in the claim, and primary DOJ documents and press releases accessible online do not provide a comprehensive, current tally that adds up to the figures asserted in the White House statement. Because the exact aggregate counts appear to originate from administration communications rather than from independently verifiable DOJ data, the statement cannot be conclusively rated true or false on the basis of available public records.
Verdict: Unclear, because no authoritative, independently verifiable DOJ source or audited public record confirms the exact numbers cited, and only partial, indirect evidence exists about the scale of the investigations and the number of defendants/convictions.
