Description

Federal prosecutors announced charges Thursday against eight people for allegedly defrauding a state Medicaid program.


Defendants are charged with stealing a total of around $10 million from Minnesota’s housing stabilization services program, which started in 2020, and was meant to help people with disabilities secure housing.


Also, St. Paul’s library system and rec centers have restored internet service after a cyberattack caused an outage.


This is the evening MPR News update hosted by Emily Reese. Theme music by Gary Meister.
