Friend,

Newly released audio recordings ([link removed]) obtained by the Center of the American Experiment have exposed the truth: Attorney General Keith Ellison misled the public about his role in the largest fraud in Minnesota history—then took campaign contributions from the very people behind it.

In my latest op-ed for Alpha News ([link removed]) , I lay out what’s on the recording—and what it means for anyone who cares about the rule of law, taxpayer accountability, and basic integrity in public office.

Here’s what you need to know:

In December 2021, Ellison held a closed-door meeting inside his official government office with individuals later indicted in the $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal ([link removed]) . On the tape, Ellison admits he had never heard of the fraud—despite later claiming publicly that his office had been working the case “for two solid years.”

That was a lie.

Just nine days after the meeting, Ellison accepted $10,000 in campaign contributions ([link removed]) from attendees tied to the fraud. Instead of investigating, he dismissed oversight concerns as “piddly, stupid stuff,” sympathized with the fraudsters, and pledged to “fight” the very state agencies trying to expose them.

Federal prosecutors did their job. Minnesota’s top legal officer did not. Read the full Alpha News op-ed here ([link removed]) and hear the truth for yourself.

Working with you,
