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.

Stories like this really piss me off. This will be just another incident where a politician or someone in the gov’t gets caught committing a crime and nothing is done about it. And the gov’t wonders why no one trusts our institutions.
Walz and company KNEW about the massive fraud because they were obviously in on it. I would bet a dozen that Kamala Harris picked Walz because he was a bagman.
Exactly..............
I expect no arrests.
Democrats give savages money from the treasury. Savages return it to the democrats along with votes. This keeps democrats in power, enabling them to take more money from hard-working people.
Savages breed uncontrollably, creating a solid voting block that will never work at a legitimate job.
Hard working people get the shaft: they pay for it, are blamed for it, are subject to violent crime, and have the pleasure of watching their replacements prosper.
Certainly not a current or former elected official.
It really is infuriating. Nothing is done, so this lowlife scum just keeps bilking the regular, working American citizens. They don’t even try to hide it anymore.

#1: a politician or someone in the gov’t gets caught committing a crime and nothing is done about it.
Thanks for the FReepsplain. 🙄
and yes, it's infuriating to no end.
A crooked TopCop. How very....Democrat of them.
As long as the MSM doesn’t cover it, it just gets dismissed as “figments of right-wingers’ imaginations”.
More has already happened than has happened in the last 50 years. Trump is not Bush.
There’s your reparations. Enjoy, cuz it’s over.
Perp walks or it never happened.
It would only be newsworthy if he did NOT do so.
And who’s going to do anythng about it?
FRAUD FROM THE TIPPY TOP TO THE BOTTOM.
