Quote:A 54-minute secret recording from a December 11, 2021, closed-door meeting inside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s official state office is resurfacing amid explosive revelations that 70 Somali community members in Minnesota participated in stealing $250 million in federal COVID child-feeding funds.

On the tape released by American Experiment earlier this year, Ellison sympathizes with, encourages, and ultimately promises assistance to a group of Somali-American business leaders, many of whom would later be charged or convicted in the largest COVID relief fraud scheme in U.S. history.

The fraudulent operation, centered around the notorious nonprofit Feeding Our Future, stole an estimated $250 million in federal child nutrition funds, money intended to feed poor children but instead used to purchase luxury homes, foreign real estate, jewelry, and lavish lifestyles.

The audio reveals Ellison mocking state agency oversight, vowing to “fight” on behalf of the very operators who investigators say were deeply involved in a web of wire fraud, money laundering, and fake meal claims across Minnesota.

Soon after (on December 20, 2021), Keith Ellison’s campaign and that of his son Jeremiah Ellison received campaign donations from individuals linked to Feeding Our Future.

Among those donors was Gandi Yusuf Mohamed, a person publicly identified as tied to laundering over $1.1 M in program funds.

According to American Experiment:

Ellison states on the recording that “we are in the middle of the battle with the agencies now” at 8:59. At 9:07, Ellison asserts that:

Walz agrees with me that this piddly, stupid stuff running small people out of business is terrible.

At 9:22, Ellison can be heard drawing a diagram on a whiteboard. At 9:50, Ellison agrees with the proposition that there is state agency discrimination against East African businesses.

At 11:30, Ellison brags that:

Just being able to say, just getting the question, just getting the inquiry from the AG is sometimes enough to make people knock it off.

We return to the tawdry subject of coin at the 13:00 mark, where Omar again offers his fundraising assistance to Ellison as a political candidate, apparently while sitting in Ellison’s official government office.

Ellison can be heard (13:29) responding, “That’s right” and (13:56), “Money is freedom.”

[…]

The “ask” of Ellison begins around 43:30. Specifically, the request is for him, in the AG’s statutory role as attorney for state agencies, to intervene on behalf of these small businesses subject to racist government overregulation. At 44:26, Ellison assures his audience, “Of course, I’m here to help,” and at 45:00, “Let’s go fight these people.” Hear the Ellison battle plan.

Ellison claimed the recording was a “smear.” But the tape speaks for itself.

“When the AG arrived, he was surprised to find others present but agreed to meet with them,” says Ellison’s spokesman in a written statement to KSTP.

“It is a shame that these fraudsters tried to exploit the Attorney General’s good faith engagement, but they were not successful. Nothing happened as a result of the meeting. Feeding Our Future was raided by the FBI in January of 2022, and the people who orchestrated this plot are sitting in prison.”

The entire recording can be heard here.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is under fire after employees from the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) issued a bombshell statement accusing the far-left governor of orchestrating a sweeping cover-up to shield a sprawling Somali immigrant fraud ring that stole more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds and punishing whistleblowers who tried to stop it.

According to DHS insiders, Walz not only ignored early warnings but actively retaliated against agency employees who sounded the alarm.

They now accuse his administration of using political intimidation, monitoring, threats, and agency manipulation to suppress evidence and silence witnesses.

They are hell bent on destroying America

The closet commies in the Democrat Party are corrupt to the core.

Liberals in MN know the deal with the devil is that they don't get elected to statewide or federal office in that state unless the Somali political bagmen say they do. So guys like Walz and Ellison look the other way.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Says There Are “DISTURBING TAPES” of Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Taking Money to Stop Investigations Into Somali Fraud

Quote:Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has gone public with explosive allegations against radical leftist Attorney General Keith Ellison.

Last Friday, the U.S. Treasury Secretary confirmed that federal authorities are aggressively “following the money” amid explosive fraud investigations tied to Minnesota’s sprawling Somali-linked financial networks.

According to Bessent, the Treasury Department has launched multiple enforcement actions focused on suspicious financial flows between Minnesota residents and businesses and overseas destinations, including East Africa, as the federal government intensifies its immigration and fraud crackdown in the state.

But the real bombshell dropped during an interview with Blaze:

Scott Bessent:
“It’s hard to follow the money. There are evidently some disturbing tapes of AG Ellison in meetings with people who donated to him—calling for political favors to stop the investigations. We’ll see. I don’t want to get out ahead of the investigation. It’s going to be very methodical. But I can guarantee you—when the bear trap snaps, we’re going to get these folks. We’re going to follow the money, whether it’s here in Minneapolis and St. Paul or over in East Africa. There are tons of luxury properties and cars that have been bought over there.”

WATCH:

As we’ve previously reported here at TGP, a bombshell 54-minute secret recording from December 11, 2021, captured Ellison in a closed-door meeting inside his own state office, schmoozing with Somali-American business leaders who would later be nailed for stealing a whopping $250 million in federal COVID child-feeding funds.

That’s money meant for starving kids, siphoned off by these crooks to buy luxury homes, foreign real estate, bling, and lavish lifestyles. And Ellison was right there, sympathizing, encouraging, and promising to “fight” on their behalf against those state agencies trying to enforce the law.

Let’s go ahead and start the screams of racism and prosecution of political opponents.

Watch out for a strongly worded letter from Pam Bondi to arrive sometime in the future. If she doesn’t forget to do it between her appearances on Fox News or any other place she can get in front of the camera. #CamHo

Yep. Bonding doesn't care about this, and neither does Patel.
