Is Minnesota AG Keith Ellison moving closer to legal jeopardy? The far-left Democrat recently defended the activists who stormed a church in Minneapolis, but it’s the Somali fraud scandal that is at the center of this latest report.
According to Fox News, there is allegedly audio of Keith Ellison being offered campaign donations by now-convicted Somali fraudsters in exchange for “getting the money flowing again.” The meeting is claimed to have taken place in 2021.
REPORTER: Congress [is] also asking why the AG there would meet with a group of Somali fraudsters which were under FBI investigation in 2021. The group can be heard in an audio clip given to us by Bock’s lawyer, offering to donate to his campaign if he can help get their funding flowing again. Ellison denies any wrongdoing here. He slammed Bock in a statement to Fox, calling her a liar and a manipulator, adding that now she’s on a media tour to deflect her guilt onto others instead of finally taking responsibility for this fraud scheme that she ran.
The first thing to figure out here is what audio is even being cited. Fox News says it came from Aimee Bock’s lawyer, one of the ringleaders of a $250 million Somali fraud scheme. She’s currently in prison, something Ellison has used to attack her credibility. Recorded audio can’t be brushed aside that easily, though, and I did a little digging to try to figure out if it’s something we’ve heard before or not. It seems probable that this is from the same meeting that was first revealed back in April of 2025.
