Sitting across from him: the organizers of the Feeding Our Future child nutrition program, who were running what became the largest pandemic fraud in American history. They had come to ask the state's top law enforcement officer to get investigators off their backs. 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝟓𝟒-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝. He called the state investigation “𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥, 𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧.” He told the fraudsters, “𝘐'𝘮 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱.” And then he asked for names. The fraud Ellison was asked to protect ran to $250 million — stolen from a federal child nutrition program designed to feed low-income kids during COVID.

The tape was obtained by the Center of the American Experiment and played at two congressional hearings. In February 2026, Sen. Josh Hawley read the key exchange into the Senate Homeland Security Committee record and told Ellison: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘫𝘢𝘪𝘭.” In March, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer confronted him at House Oversight, warning that if the allegations proved true, Ellison should be “𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘫𝘢𝘪𝘭.” Ellison denies misusing his office. He says the fraudsters deceived him about the purpose of the meeting and that he rejected their offer to donate to his reelection campaign. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝟓𝟒 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟒𝟒 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠.
