Josh Hawley (R-MO) is calling for the indictment of Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) over accusations that he accepted campaign contributions from Somali fraudsters for helping them evade investigation by state and federal officials.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">During a Senate Homeland Security hearing on Thursday, Hawley grilled Ellison about a report from the\u00a0<em>New York Post<\/em>\u00a0published\u00a0last year that accuses the top Minnesota official of taking campaign contributions from Somalis involved in the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal, where some $9 billion in taxpayer money was stolen under the guise of feeding needy children.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, Ellison accepted several $2,500 campaign donations from Somali fraudsters after they raised concerns that federal investigators were unjustly looking at their financials.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Senator Hawley asked the Attorney General if he was \u201cfamiliar with the $9 billion in historic fraud out of [his] state,\u201d to which the Attorney General confirmed he was. According to the Senator, the fraudsters running Feeding Our Future, a program that siphoned $250 million from Minnesota taxpayers alone, petitioned the Attorney General for help in his office, claiming that \u201cstate investigators [were] going after them.\u201d And, according to Senator Hawley, Attorney General Ellison was caught on tape agreeing to help.\n<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Ellison denied the accusations. Senator Hawley countered by highlighting that the Attorney General received a $10,000 campaign contribution from the same fraudsters just days after that meeting. The Senator said of Attorney General Ellison, \u201cYou helped fraudsters defraud your state and this government of $9 billion, and you got a fat campaign contribution out of it. You ought to be indicted.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Fraud has taken center stage in Minnesota in recent months. In November of last year, CityJournal revealed that Somali fraudsters stole billions from the Minnesota taxpayers through fraud, using those billions to buy expensive goods and even fund overseas terror. Since the release of this report, many on the right have condemned Minnesota\u2019s leaders, accusing them of enabling this fraud. Last month, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer claimed even state Governor Tim Walz is responsible, announcing on a podcast that the Governor \u201cshould be in cuffs.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s pray for the truth about this fraud to continue to be revealed, and for all who knowingly enabled this fraud to face justice!\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your prayers for truth and justice in the comments below.<\/h4>\n<p>(Excerpt from Breitbart.
