A sitting United States Senator just told a state attorney general to his face that he belongs in prison—and he brought the receipts to prove it.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) unleashed a devastating accusation of perjury against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison during a live Senate hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday, playing excerpts from a fifty-four minute recorded conversation that may very well end Ellison's political career.
The explosive confrontation centered on the Feeding Our Future scandal—the largest COVID-era theft scheme in American history. A staggering $250 million was stolen from federal programs designed to feed hungry children in Minnesota. And according to Hawley, Ellison didn't just look the other way. He allegedly used his official position to shut down state investigators who were closing in on the fraudsters.
The Recorded Evidence
Hawley read directly from the transcript of the recorded meeting, where Ellison allegedly promised individuals under federal investigation that he would personally contact investigators and call them off. According to the Senator, Ellison told the fraudsters to "send him the names" and pledged his team was "already on it."
Nine days later—just nine days, Patriots—Ellison's campaign account received $10,000 in contributions from the very same individuals caught on that recording. The same people actively under federal investigation for stealing money meant for children.
Let that sink in.
"You belong in prison," Hawley told Ellison directly, with the transcript laid out before the entire committee.
Ellison denied everything. He sat there and denied it while his own words were read back to him in real time. The audacity is almost impressive—if it weren't so deeply corrupt.
$60 Million in Dark Money Exposed
The hearing went even deeper. Investigator Seamus Bruner delivered testimony that should have every American paying attention. He revealed $60 million in dark money flowing into what he described as the "Minnesota insurrection"—organized riot activity funded through networks tied to George Soros, Arabella Advisors, the Tides Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller.
Bruner named fourteen organizations allegedly receiving tens of millions to coordinate chaos across the state, including the ACLU, Democracy Forward, Take Action Minnesota, Indivisible, National Lawyers Guild, and CAIR Minnesota.
This wasn't spontaneous outrage. This was bought and paid for.
Senator Johnson Delivers the Kill Shot
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) piled on with his own devastating exchange, pointing directly at Ellison and laying responsibility for two deaths at his feet.
"Two people are dead because you encouraged civilians to put themselves in harm's way during enforcement operations," Johnson declared.
Johnson revealed that trained activists were deployed on the ground during these operations—including one carrying a semi-automatic pistol with extra magazines. He accused Ellison of exploiting those deaths as "political martyrs" rather than accepting any responsibility.
Ellison's response? He smirked. He actually smirked through the entire rebuke.
"You should feel damn guilty," Johnson told him.
Ellison's Credibility Collapses
As if the recorded evidence and dark money revelations weren't enough, Ellison couldn't even answer basic questions without contradicting himself. When pressed on whether Mexico and Canada are safe countries, he stumbled and reversed himself under direct questioning.
When asked whether Minneapolis police cooperate with ICE on targeted enforcement, Ellison claimed they do. A Minnesota state representative immediately contradicted him on the record, stating police were ordered to stand down.
His credibility didn't just crack—it shattered on live television.
What Happens Now?
Hawley has demanded criminal indictment. The evidence is devastating: a recorded conversation, campaign finance records showing money deposited days after the meeting, a quarter-billion-dollar fraud connected to individuals who visited Ellison's state capitol office, and $60 million in dark money funding organized resistance.
The mainstream media will bury this story. They always protect their own. But the American people deserve to know that the corruption runs this deep—that a state attorney general allegedly sold out hungry children for campaign cash and political favors.
The question now is simple: Will Merrick Garland's DOJ—oh wait, that's Pam Bondi's DOJ now. And suddenly, accountability doesn't seem so far-fetched.
Will Keith Ellison face justice? Or will the Deep State protect one of its own?
