  • A wild attempted bribery is rocking a Minnesota pandemic fraud trial.
  • A woman dropped off a bag of $120,000 in cash to the juror's house.
  • "This is stuff that happens in mob movies," the prosecuting attorney told the court.

Like something straight out of a mob movie, a juror in a Minnesota pandemic fraud trial was offered $120,000 cash to vote for acquittal.

Just before the jury was set to begin deliberations on Monday, Assistant US Attorney Joseph Thompson announced the apparent attempted bribery to the court, according to the Minnesota Reformer.
