New records obtained by KARE 11 show the company that owned a vacant private prison in Appleton, Minnesota offered to sell it to the state in 2025 for $75 million.
One year later, the Trump administration agreed to use taxpayer funds to buy the same abandoned prison from CoreCivic, Inc., for $495.6 million.
The price difference, $420 million, is more than taxpayers are estimated to have lost in Minnesota’s much-publicized Feeding Our Future fraud scandal.
Federal records show CoreCivic donated half a million dollars to the Trump-Vance inaugural committee.
Totally not a bribe that’s not even trying to be hidden.
Fuck these openly corrupt PoS people. If you are still registered as a Republican, you are a disgrace and disgusting.
Oh so this is why they spent so much energy calling Walz and Ellison fraudsters for… checks notes… identifying fraud and prosecuting it.
Who is behind the curtains at CoreCivic?
It isn’t a “private public partnership” without completely fleecing the public in the exchange.
So the federal government is money laundering. Great.
Sounds like a near-perfect example of graft.
$420 million? Really? Even when they grift, they’re memeing. I bet Musk is involved.
Gotta spend dat fat taxpayer budget -_-
Well come on. Obviously it appreciated.
