Scott Bessent hinted at “disturbing tapes” tied to Minnesota corruption and overseas fraud
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.
