## Resource

Federal officials are withholding more than $200 million in federal Medicaid payments to Minnesota due to suspected fraud in the state’s public health insurance programs. And a leader of the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme could have even more time added to his prison term for trying to bribe a juror two years ago. He faces sentencing this week. Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
