Five charged with attempting to bribe juror with $120,000 in Minnesota

The Department of Justice is charging five people in Minnesota for their part in a conspiracy to bribe a juror $120,000.

The charges come after one juror reported being approached by a woman with a bribe to acquit the defendants in the Feeding Our Future scheme. Five of seven defendants were found guilty of receiving $40 million from the Department of Agriculture as part of a fraudulent scheme aimed to exploit government funding.
