‘How the hell did this happen?’ Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says feds probing ‘disturbing tapes’ of AG Keith Ellison in Somali fraud

By Joe Kovacs

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is now issuing a “guarantee” that Somali-linked fraudsters in Minnesota will be snagged, and he points to “disturbing tapes” of the state’s attorney general, Keith Ellison, allegedly saying he’ll squash probes into people charged with fraud.

In an interview with the Blaze, Bessent said: “That’s part of following the money. There are evidently some disturbing tapes of AG Ellison in meetings with people who donated to him – them calling for political favors to stop the investigations. So we’ll see.

“I don’t want to get out ahead of the investigation. It’s going to be very methodical,” Bessent continued.

“I can guarantee you – when the bear trap snaps, we’re gonna get these folks. We’re going to follow the money, whether it’s over the two counties here in Minneapolis/St. Paul or whether it’s to East Africa. There’s tons of luxury properties, cars that have been bought over there.”
