Former Obama spox charged with financial felony in city engulfed by fraud scandals

Adam Fetcher, a former Obama administration press aide, faces a felony charge of financial transaction fraud after allegedly stealing a coworker's debit card to purchase kratom in Minneapolis. He was fired from his role as Minneapolis's Chief Communications Officer in July amid an investigation into stealing cash and bank cards from three coworkers. The case adds to scrutiny of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over fraud issues tied to the city's Somali community.
